The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Digitas (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn to schedule an interview without any job description or anything. Within a week I was brought in for an in-person interview, although the people I met all seemed nice, but the role itself was so unclear that I was very confused what they were really looking for. In the end, I reached out to the recruiter, and she even blamed on me for not showing "all my work" to the team. THIS IS SUCH A WASTE OF TIME! Digitas is going down and definitely not worth it.
