Interview Process at Dentsu At Dentsu, our interview process typically involves three rounds. Initial Screening: We begin by reviewing the candidate’s CV — often created using AI tools — to understand their background and experience. Portfolio Presentation & Case Study Review: In this round, candidates are asked to present their portfolio, walk through case studies, and demonstrate their problem-solving approach. We assess their understanding of design systems, awareness of current design trends, clarity in articulating their process, and passion for design. This stage also includes a Q&A session about their design journey and key projects. Task & Final Discussion: The final round usually involves a small design task followed by a discussion on the approach and rationale. We generally prefer candidates with a formal design education — a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Design, especially from institutes like NID, IIT, MIT-ID, or Srishti — as this provides the academic grounding and technical rigor we look for. Candidates without a design background are usually not considered, as our work demands a deep understanding of design fundamentals and methodology.
