the interviewer seemed really distracted, constantly checking his phone. His secretary also kept interrupting with papers, and he just didn't seem that into the interview.

Behavioral Presentation Technical

Applied online. Then had a phone screen. Then the first round was an in-person meeting with the recruiter, followed by a presentation to the team and a panel. The second round involved a one-on-one with a copywriter who is a partner. Then I had one-on-one meetings with the VP, creative director, and then the EVP creative director. Finally, I was introduced to the brand team and agency departments.

Behavioral Presentation Other

Met with Janene Jones who was dressed more casually than expected. She was generally nice but started to critique my work before I could finish speaking. Her attitude was more than I anticipated from an adult towards a recent graduate. Her communication skills were poor, and she never replied to my email, instead having her coworker Anna Brown handle all communications. I was told I'd hear back in 2 days, but it took 2 weeks. This delay caused me to decline the offer. Poor HR communication is a big negative for me. I also heard they sometimes fire people and then rehire them shortly after.
