Probably the worst interview process I've experienced in 8+ years in tech and advertising. The recruiter was very disorganized and unresponsive. After confirming an onsite interview, she canceled the day before with no explanation and delayed for 2 months. The onsite interview was easy and the interviewers were generally friendly, albeit some clearly under-prepared. If you have even a basic understanding of media strategy, A/B testing, and general KPI metrics - it should be a breeze. Most challenging part of the process is writing a media proposal (literally writing on a white board, as they do not provide a calculator, pen, or paper to create a basic grid or make calculations), in 10 minutes with partial data. Provided you have any experience planning and thinking on your feet, again this shouldn't present any real challenges - just bring a calculator and a pen/paper if that is your style. After getting a vote of approval from the panel interviewers, I was moved to meeting with a hiring manager who was out on leave at the time, and placed back in a queue to wait. After 5 months of starting and stopping, I decided to withdraw my application. Having been referred by several current employees for the role, I determined that the biggest challenge I would face was getting through to recruiting and my interest had soured. The long and short is, provided you have basic ad sales experience, the interview process is easy - the recruiting process however, needs some drastic improvements.
