Interview
I applied in January 2021 and received an offer to interview a week later. I was interviewed by two panellists from the team, who were very friendly. The interview lasted just over an hour and comprised of a 30-minute task and interview. The 30-minute task was a presentation of a campaign plan based on a brief provided in advance. I had 30 minutes to study the brief and was questioned on my presentation. The remainder of the interview was mostly competency-based questions. I received an offer within a week.

Interview
Two rounds of interview. First was pretty informal, whereas the second required a presentation. The interview panel were friendly and professional throughout. The interview appeared to go well and I was informed that I would hear back within a week.
A month later I had heard nothing back, despite sending an email requesting whether a decision had been made. It was very disappointing and surprising that the organisation did not have the courtesy to let me know that I had not got the position.

Interview
First a 15 minute screening telephone interview with an HR partner. Then three weeks later a one hour competency-based interview with a panel of two directors and presentation of a 10 minute deck on the question “How to build a creative culture and how to raise creative standards”. Overall very experienced interviewers who put me at ease (despite it being over video) and gave immediate feedback after each question. A very positive experience and reflects very well on the organisation.

Interview
Straight forward and friendly interviewers. Did ask any questions to catch applicants out. The interviews made an effort to try make applicants feel comfortable. There was a delay in hearing back due to other interviews which slowed the process down. Overall my experience was positive.
