I applied online. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Dubai) in Jan 2017
Interview
They have gotten my resume from an online portal and then called me up for an interview.
Overall it was fast paced and i got a call right away. It took a week for them to set up a date.
However the processing of the resume papers took time since so many people apply there
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Washington, DC) in Feb 2025
Interview
It was a pretty normal interview as they ask you about your education and experience. They wanted to get to know me as a person. They were also transparent in the interview as they were upfront with pay.

Tell me about yourself? What experience do you have in this industry?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Washington, DC) in Feb 2024
Interview
It was difficult for it to be an internship. I did not like the questions that were being asked and i believe it was for an entry level role that they were thinking i wanted. this interview had so many rounds and for what, for interns to be paid minimum wage.
Sterile, impersonal questionnaire from an interviewer that couldn't respond to anything I said. Just back to back questioning with no acknowledgment of my answers. Disappointing and confusing for such a big name in the industry
