I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at J. Walter Thompson Worldwide (New York, NY) in Oct 2011
Interview
pretty standard process, multiple rounds with all stakeholders, assessment of brand marketing performance, recommendations for change, cultural fit analysis via informal question and answer session with wider team, presenting previous work from previous jobs
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at J. Walter Thompson Worldwide (Toronto, ON) in July 2016
Interview
Interview process was quick. The HR manager set up initial and subsequent follow up emails quite quickly. However after 3 rounds, they never told me they went with a different candidate. I had to follow up twice in order to get an answer. Otherwise, it was a positive experience. HR manager did try to condense my follow up interviews into one day to be efficient with time which I appreciated.
Everyone I met was friendly - including those I interviewed with, reception and people I met in the hallway.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at J. Walter Thompson Worldwide (New York, NY) in Aug 2011
Interview
Seemed to go smoothly - very professional.
They have a very nice office space.
I was impressed with everyone on the team - account people, creatives, planner. Only the HR person seemed a bit cold and uptight.
But then again, she scheduled all the interviews. I had 5 in total.
