I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at OMD (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2010
Interview
This interview was pretty standard for any type of media agency. I was expecting some sort of media test (every media related interview I had previously consisted of a test), but it was just a question/answer interview.
There were two people from HR interviewing me at the same time, which is quite common, EXCEPT one of them just sat there in silence. Barely spoke one word to me. So I found that to be a little odd, and very distracting for me in terms of making eye contact with them even though it was the other person doing all the talking. Suffice to say I didn't get the job. The mute person really threw me off my game.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OMD (New York, NY) in Aug 2020
Interview
I spoke with the recruiter who sent my resume to the hiring manager. I heard back the next day wanting to set up an interview with the team. I talked to the hiring manager first, and then another worker in two different online interviews—both around 30 minutes. I receive an offer the following week!
Overall, it took about two weeks from the initial call with the recruiter to then getting the offer!
Advice: Be very lively and energetic, talk positively about the company and clients, and ask questions
