I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Britto Agency (New York, NY) in Jul 2013
Interview
If she likes you, you'll be invited to a trial workday "day in the life" which is completely unpaid, unless she currently has an EA who is willing to go through the red tape to get your lunch reimbursed. Your day in the life may be extended to several days in the life until you have a contract, on which the offered salary is far lower than you asked for. You will do a lot of free labor in this trial period, and will be expected to stay late into the evening, even if it's a Friday (this did not happen to me, but it did happen to Account Executives we were consider). Additionally, you are likely to be competing alongside other candidates for the position you're applying for, which makes it particularly uncomfortable, especially because you probably have quite a bit in common with those candidates and so enjoy their camaraderie. The boss lady will pit you against all your colleagues at some point, even though your job is to maintain a healthy work environment and increase morale.

Why do you want to work for the Britto Agency? What kind of books do you read?

Interview
It was an odd and unprofessional interview process. I ended up waiting in the lobby with a bunch of other people for what seemed about an hour. The secretary was very nice and then i found out that she wasnt actually part of the agency but the secretary for the whole rented space. Unfortunate because she was the only non sketchy part of the interview process. After waiting and waiting I was brought to the back and was asked a series of general questions that had nothing to do with my skills. I was introduced to some staff and the tone of the office just seemed fake or forced. I was asked to spend a day in the office and work for free. Nope.
