Interview questions [1]
Question 1

Interview
Took very long so you have to be patient. The process to finalize offer is slow. But salaries are competitive specially as you climb the ladder, Not a difficult interview process but having great people’s skills definitely helps.

Question 1
Past campaign experiences and leadership capabilities
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2016
Interview
There was no interview. I was freelance and they went under budget review in January and bullied freelancers into full-time. I said I would take a Sr Art Director role since I was not interested in a management role like an ACD, however they said they have "no hierarchy" and there is only 1 Art Director title (no Jr AD, AD or SR AD, which really affects the overcompensating competitive egos there) so I was basically forced to go freelance to full-time if I wanted to keep my job. I took a 30% paycut and worked 3x the amount of hours, with a rapid decrease in work-life balance. Not worth it.
