I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ogilvy (New Delhi) in Mar 2012
Interview
It was a short interview on phone. Roughly 5 minutes. I was asked more or less from my CV only. I had mentioned a digital marketing project, and I was posed questions based on that.
I found the HR to be quite cool. She was pretty casual with asking questions, and did not bother too much about formalities.
I was then later interviewed inside the company by one of the persons from the Account Management Team. I was interviewed with one more guy. However I was selected between the two of us.
She asked my about my short term project on a digital media consultation. She also asked me about another short term project regarding setting up a consultancy in Dubai
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Singapore) in Jan 2026
Interview
Great, they did ask me a few critical thinking questions. I had to pause and think for a while. Location of office is at cbd which is convenient, office has pantry and everyone seems rly friendly
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.
