Wieden And Kennedy Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took a day)

My interview experience was probably atypical compared to that of someone coming in cold. I knew some people that worked there, and they recommended me and got me the interview.
The process for me was very informal, once we found a day and time that worked for myself, the manager who I'd work under, and the department head. These were the only people I met with, other than a quick tour of the area I'd be working in.
The department head meeting, coming after the manager meeting, seemed somewhat perfunctory – no big surprise questions that I hadn't gotten in the manager interview.
The manager asked about the amount of experience I had with specific functions I'd be doing and software apps I'd be using, what my career path aspirations looked like, and negotiated the salary. Since I came recommended, it was pretty easy.
This is a high-energy place, so I'd suggest being on the more enthusiastic side. Personality and popularity are a part of the culture.
Unless you're interviewing for a total suit position (do they ever wear them? Hard to recall...) dress casual or fashionably hip casual. Jeans and a reasonably nice shirt are about as formal as you need to go.
