Interviewed by two Account Managers, who were very friendly. They started out by going through my CV and asking why I chose each role/course (e.g. "why did you study X", "why did you join company X"). After that they asked me a few questions about my knowledge of PPC, and asked a maths/logic question. They were friendly but the PPC-specific questions were quite difficult for a role which claims to offer all the necessary training.
I applied and received an invitation fairly quickly. The interview was about my previous experience with PPC campaign management and I have the chance to ask questions about the company and the client.
