      Associate Creative Director Interview

      18 Sept 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Karāchi
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Karāchi) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      Took very long so you have to be patient. The process to finalize offer is slow. But salaries are competitive specially as you climb the ladder, Not a difficult interview process but having great people’s skills definitely helps.

      Associate Creative Director Interview

      30 Dec 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Chicago, IL
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      There was no interview. I was freelance and they went under budget review in January and bullied freelancers into full-time. I said I would take a Sr Art Director role since I was not interested in a management role like an ACD, however they said they have "no hierarchy" and there is only 1 Art Director title (no Jr AD, AD or SR AD, which really affects the overcompensating competitive egos there) so I was basically forced to go freelance to full-time if I wanted to keep my job. I took a 30% paycut and worked 3x the amount of hours, with a rapid decrease in work-life balance. Not worth it.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Can you hurry up and sign the papers for this job offer blindly right now?

      Question 2

      We're under a tight budget this year, can you sign on as full-time because otherwise we have to cut off all of our freelancers?
