I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Digitas (Boston, MA) in Feb 2018
Interview
Applied in November online/through a university, emailed to set up an HR phone screen (30 mins) in January, then invited to the Boston office for an in-person interview with 4 employees (30 mins each) in February. HR was very friendly throughout the entire process, but unfortunately kept pushing back the time (upwards of 5-6 times) I would get an answer due to budgeting, new business, and decision makers being located in another office. Overall the interviews were pleasant and mainly focused on behavioral questions as well as questions about my previous work experiences. I wish the entire process, which lasted from November until I got a decision mid-April, was condensed, but that is the nature of agencies when working out how much new business they will have months down the line. Although I wasn't given a position, which ended up being due to budgeting, Digitas still seems like a place where I would like to work in the future, and the employees and corporate culture radiated an awesome and fun environment. My only recommendation is that the length of this process should be disclosed from the start because I thought I would receive an answer months earlier.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Digitas (New York, NY) in Jan 2020
Interview
Heard back from the recruiter a month after applying on their website. Had a Skype interview with four people over two hours 4 days after the initial phone call and heard back the next day with an offer. Entire process went smoothly and with fast turnaround as I told them I was sitting on an offer from a different agency.
I applied online. I interviewed at Digitas in Feb 2018
Interview
Reached out to through e-mail by a recruiter after applying. Initial phone screen with her, and then I was brought into the office to meet with her and four other interviewers on the team. The recruiter tried her best to fill me in on the process but overall it was a bit confusing. After I interviewed, I was told that I would have to wait a few weeks before a decision could be made due to budget reasons. After a few weeks I finally heard back and the recruiter told me that I would not be getting the position and went into feedback from the team that did not seem genuine. Based on that fact that they made me wait so long to give a decision, the feedback they gave me would have knocked me out right on the spot (not passionate, nervous etc) so the feedback did not feel tailored or appropriate. In addition, some interviewers were a bit dull and one couldn't even make eye contact with me, and the questions felt generic. They also had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the unicorn creative prompt which was a big part of the application. Overall, it wasn't a great experience.
