I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ogilvy (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
Applied online and had a call with the recruitment team, then a short virtual call with a business director, followed by a task presented to a client partner and a business director, then a final meeting with a business director.
Process was quite quick up until the later stages, when it was harder to get contact with the teams and obtain any feedback. one thing that was frustrating is that they use an applicant tracking system, and send automatic rejections despite getting to later stages in the process which can be extremely off-putting when you have spent hours interviewing, preparing tasks, researching various accounts etc. as you feel like you have to chase for responses.
Sharing of my past job experiences, the companies I've worked at previously, my expected salary range for this role, what made me apply for the role with Ogilvy. They also shared the expectations of the role.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ogilvy (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Met with the Senior lead on the account, HR and MD. Went through several interviews, took a long time to sort out interview times/face to face meetings. Interviews went well. I was told that they would organize a meeting with the team for next steps and then later on after following up, was informed the job went to someone else which was a shock. I emailed to find out more information and no one ever got back to me. Very surprising.
Would massively appreciate Management and leadership team to give more clarity and feedback to help support everyone along this journey. Massively hoping that things get better for this year. All the best!
