I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Ogilvy in Feb 2012
Interview
After submitting a lengthy application, Ogilvy selected a handful of individuals to partake in on-campus interviews. This consisted of two 1:1 interviews with constituents from their local branch. One individual was a higher level executive - she was short and I could not get a good read on her at all. The other individual was much more lively and we had a great conversation. After interviewing, we had to wait another 4 weeks to see if we passed on to the second round interviews.
Round one interview 20 minute zoom. The interviewer was super nice and it followed a normal behavioral interview style. It was a very quick interview. They never asked "tell me about yourself" They just dove right into the questions. The interviewer was very personable and easy to talk to but when the interview began he was more serious.

Interview
Ogilvy interviews are typically engaging and insightful. Expect conversations delving into your creative thinking, strategic problem-solving, and passion for the industry. Interviewers are often warm and enthusiastic, providing a glimpse into the agency's collaborative and fast-paced culture.
Submitted my application (essays, resume) and my first interview was with an account executive. But I did not get to move onto the second round which is either another interview or super day (depending on your process)
