The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Digitas in Aug 2009
Interview
I started as a freelancer, and when my assignment ended, I was told I'd be considered for a full-time spot. Since there was confusion on the company's end on what exactly they needed, I came in two times and went through two whole interview processes before starting the third one that finally landed me a job.
The process itself was pretty standard, I met three people I'd be working with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a previous experience where you had to take a leadership role to solve an issue, how did you do that?
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Digitas
Interview
2 hours of interviews with 4 different members of the team from the same position and up to VP level. Each interview was one on one, each asking roughly the same types of questions.
4 separate 30 minute interviews. The interviewers were friendly but serious. They were looking for concrete examples of past experience. For example: Name a time when you took leadership; Give an example of your strength in managing projects, Talk about how you work in a team environment, Give 3 strengths/ 3 weaknesses, etc. There was only one "situational" question (see below).

Question 1
How would you interact with a client who was asking for something beyond their budget?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Digitas (Atlanta, GA) in May 2012
Interview
First I was called by their NY recruiter and asked to come to the interview session. Around 8 people we're there being interviewed. We were interviewed for 30 minutes by 6 different people, so the interview was 3 hours. They asked questions from my resume, and then asked questions about working on a team and how I handle team environments. The people we're very nice and personable, and made me feel comfortable. The other people interviewing for the position we're young in their early 20's.
