O&M contacted the college placement department, and selected a few people, mostly based on co-curriculum accomplishments, and academic achievements. The next round was a face to face interview.

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.
