I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Pic Agency (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
They emailed me simply asking what my availability was for an interview. I arrived five minutes early and sat down in the waiting area. Several people walked past me without acknowledging me, I'm not even sure if they worked there or not. Someone asked me if I needed help and I said I was there for an appointment. The person with whom I had coordinated the appointment was on lunch (huh?). Someone else came out and took me in for the interview. The interview itself was ten minutes of me listening to how terrible the industry was and how everyone is so flaky - so they only want to "invest" in people that are willing to "invest" back. (The reasoning was that they are teaching, which is an investment, and the workers are toiling for low pay, which is an investment of time. Seriously.) She had no idea who I was and was totally unprepared for the interview. Then she told me how everyone that ever worked there moved on to other jobs that were really successful. Also, a job requirement was to "be able to do things without being asked." So, you know, be psychic.
I have no idea why I even went there after reading the other Glassdoor reviews. The office was dingy and dark and incredibly depressing. And yes, there's a little dog that owns the space, so if you are desperate enough for work, I hope you aren't allergic to dogs.

Interview
Owners interviewed. Wanted me to know that artists needed to be keep on tight deadlines and were not to be trusted. A little odd that they didn't seem to trust anybody.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pic Agency (Hollywood, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
They engaged in active conversation with me. Really seemed interested. Laid back interview, had to sign NDA on arrival. Small agency located in a suite. Casual dress for work, business casual for interview. No background check or drug screening. Didn't even seem to have a copy of my resume on hand when interviewing.
