Interviewed Mar 2010 in New York, NY (took 11 months)
It took a long time due to the economy and certain parent company issues.
I had a verbal offer many months ago, however, they filled to position within so had to wait.
They are pretty organized. The interviews were not hard. You only interview with the next 2 levels. So if you are a planner. You will interview with a manager & associate director.

Interviewed Nov 2007 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
It is multiple people mostly supervisors that are each trying to find out something about you. So one is focused on math skills, another is focused on how well you know the industry, another is focused on problem solving, and so on. Mainly it is a long day with really obvious questions.
I do remember they asked what campaign did I dislike, and why.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Starcom was prompt to respond to my inquiry. The first round interview consisted of simple personality questions, and surprisingly easy math questions. Although I felt that it should've been more about media, it makes sense for a large company to filter possible interns through quick behavioral interviews over the phone.
