Interviewed Sep 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
Hiring manager will first call you and ask you what you know about media. At times, I've heard they question what your favorite advertising campaign is. Once I scheduled an interview at the agency, I interviewed with 5 people: 1 group interview, and 3 one on one interviews. Overall interview was very relaxed. Come prepared with questions to impress. At the end you will have to take a basic math test dealing with percentages.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
It started with an initial phone interview with the Senior VP of the analytics division. I was referred by a friend who worked in analytics, so the phone interview was more of a conversation for him to get to know me, what my background was, and what position would be best for me to interview for. After about half an hour of talking about what I was interested in and what my experience was in, we decided I'd interview for the Senior Analyst position.
Two weeks later, I was scheduled for in-person interviews. It was four 1-on-1 interviews. One was with the Senior VP, which again, was very casual, and was more to see if I'd be a good fit for the position and the company. Another was with one of the directors of analytics, and he focused more on specific knowledge and experience with analyzing data (Excel, SQL, Access, third party analytics suites, etc). The other two were with team managers. Essentially, these two were in charge of teams that had potential openings to be filled by the position I was interviewing for, and they were there to see if I could be an asset to their teams specifically.
Ultimately, I technically landed the job, but then the company lost their major client for the San Francisco branch, and there was no longer room for me. From what I saw, though, the company has a great open atmosphere and everyone was friendly.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
First day of interviews you come in, take a basic 5 question media math test, and chat with your HR contact for a few minutes. They then bring in account team members (the number of team members and their title depends on the size of the account team you're interviewing to join). They asked me basic personality/fit questions and about my interest in media and marketing in general. A week later I was called back in to meet with the AMD on my account, who followed a similar format. I received an offer a day later.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
I was screened with a phone interview first. I was then able to meet with the teams I was interviewing with. Some were one on ones, other panel interviews. They were tough, but everyone was really nice. I kept in close contact with my HR rep afterward.
