I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BBDO Moscow (Moscow, Moskva) in Feb 2020
Interview
I was invited to the office after submitting my CV for an interview. The interview altogether took around 20 minutes. Most questions had to do with my studies, as I was an undergraduate student at the time, and if I would be interested in the given position considering my more creative background.

Question 1
If two of the employees are having a disagreement and you are meant to supervise them communicating and delivering results under a deadline, how would you handle the situation?
I interviewed with a team lead and two team members. The interview was a mix of standard questions and somewhat creative/random ones. 30-40 minutes max. Surprisingly, no questions about my prior experience on any of my university projects.

Question 1
What is your favorite drink? Which movie character better describes you?
I had three interviews with HR, Strategic Director, and Head of Research.
The interviews were easy, no grilling, basic questions. They mainly wanted to figure out how much I knew about the company to see if I was really interested and whether I had the reasoning skills needed to do well.

Question 1
Why do I want to work at the company? Why do I want to be in strategy? What are insights? What are KPI's?
