The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Chicago, IL)
Interview
First there was a Skype interview with an HR, followed by 3 phone interviews. Asked the normal behavioral questions, with a few that were harder than normal. The Skype interview was more difficult since it was a little more awkward. The process took a long time, about 4 months total.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ogilvy in Feb 2024
Interview
A typical first-round interview where they ask you questions about how you can fit into the role. One of my biggest struggles was the time 30-minute limit and the interviewer taking most of the time.
HR calls you first to ask you about general questions (e.g., explain your experience, why you want to join the company, etc). It is then followed by an opportunity to speak with the team you applied for who ask you more role-specific questions.
