I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Digitas (New York, NY) in Mar 2010
Interview
Digitas conducts multiple rounds of phone interviews and on-site interviews. The interviewers usually meet afterwards as a team to share their findings and then to vote up or down on the candidate. Often this results in the candidate being brought in for a final interview round with the senior leader of the division before a final hiring commitment is made.

Question 1
Articulate your vision for how you will grow this role in specific ways that will help grow the company.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Digitas (Boston, MA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Fast paced but fun 30 minute interviews with a few different individuals. Casual but smart questions and dialogue. The focus was really on understanding how you work, and whether you would be a good fit with the organization and culture. They weren't selling the position hard, but it was clear that they were enthusiastic about the team and that kind of sold itself. I would not describe the interview(s) as easy, or easy to prepare for, but I think it felt very fair and, ultimately, enjoyable.

Question 1
Mostly behavioral questions, asking for examples of leadership and managing teams, resolving conflict.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Digitas (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2010
Interview
I had two rounds of phone interviews prior to be flown across the county to meet with six people. The interview questions were fairly softball, with a few tough ones tossed in. I was told I would hear back within a few days. After five follow up emails, and three phone calls, I've never heard back from anyone. Given the level of the position I was interviewing, Digitas has been EXTREMELY unprofessional during this period. I've already given up on being offered a position. However, I thought the company would have at least the professional courtesy to let me know that I wasn't chosen for the position. A simple email would have been sufficient.
