Question 1
Why do you want to work at an advertising agency? Why healthcare?
I applied online. I interviewed at Publicis Groupe (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Quite slow with some emails being missed, with a psychometric online test, an initial interview call, a lengthy assessment day that included two interviews and a group task. Overall took more than a month from initial application to hear back on the final decision. I still don’t know what agency or specific job I might be doing, as we were assessed for several different similar roles.
