FCB Global Media Interview Questions
& Process

The interview was done over Skype, which was not ideal. The lighting in the interviewer's office made it difficult to see them, which made it hard to connect. A phone call would have been better, as I wouldn't have been relying so much on visual cues. The interviewer also seemed uninterested and not very friendly.

First contacted HR in Oct. 2011. Had two 25-minute phone interviews where I answered questions about my interest in media planning and advertising, and my past work experiences. The HR people were really nice and the questions were straightforward. Then, I was flown to Chicago for in-person interviews with different employees. The hotel was amazing, and I got a call from HR and an employee the night before to answer any last-minute questions. The final round had 5-7 interviews with various media employees at the agency. There was a 30-minute media test in the morning (pretty straightforward) and lunch with an entry-level employee for a casual chat about working at Draft. Everything was organized, efficient, and helpful. It was the best interview experience I've ever had.

I had eight 1-on-1 interviews total. The first day had two interviews. Then, about six weeks later, I had 6 more interviews. The interviewers varied from entry-level staff to middle management. Some were in media, and some were in HR. The company culture seemed a bit unusual and pretty relaxed. Nobody wore suits. I had to take a math test, which wasn't too hard and covered basic algebra and media math.
