      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Initiative (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      I first had a phone interview that went very well. We ended up scheduling an in person interview a few days later. The day before my interview I got a call saying they had selected another candidate and that my interview was canceled.

      Assistant Media Planner Interview

      13 Feb 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Los Angeles, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Initiative (Los Angeles, CA)

      Interview

      Very quick and straightforward interview process. Had an HR phone screening for first stage then was brought in for a 2 on 1 interview with various teams a few weeks later. Asked questions 50% of the time and interviewers explained more of job duties versus asking about my qualifications.

      Assistant Media Planner Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Initiative

      Interview

      It was a rather streamlined and simple interview process. I was first phone screened by their HR generalist and then brought in for an in-person interview where I met both the VP and Digital Supervisor. Very standard questions, nothing out-of-the-blue or terribly difficult. I was presented with an offer in a week.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Initiative (New York, NY) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      One of the worst HR experiences I've ever had to go through. I got scheduled for an in-person interview at their New York office. Everything was unprofessional, disoriented, and unplanned. I didn't meet with half the people I was supposed to meet, I did not meet with any of the HR reps I was in contact with prior to going into the office, and I still haven't heard back from anyone from the HR department despite a follow-up email after the interview. Way to waste everyone's time.
