I first had a phone screening that was very brief and asked me standard questions about my resume and why I was interested in Ogilvy. I then had a rigorous superday that consisted of many things such as interviews, workshops, presentation
It was very intensive and one of the hardest interviews that I have done. Asked a lot of the same questions in each interview. Each candidate is asked the same questions that are mostly behavioral and situational.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ogilvy (New York, NY) in Feb 2023
Interview
Only made it to the first round - and it was just a basic screening with HR individual. The interview was conducted over Zoom and lasted 10-15 minutes. I heard back 3 weeks-a month that I did not get selected to move forward.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Ogilvy (New York, NY) in Mar 2022
Interview
Consists of 2 essay prompts followed by 2 rounds of behavioral interviews and a Super Saturday (full day of activities/group interviews).
First round interview was with HR, second with an employee in your local office. Both rounds consisted of 7-10 questions in a 30-minute interview.
The questions weren't anything new (great achievements, trouble with authority, collaboration, adapt to change, etc) but there is a lot of them. They also ask similar questions repeatedly in the same interview so have multiple stories ready!
