I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AKQA (New York, NY) in Jun 2019
Interview
The interview process lasted for months, it was laborious, painstakingly slow, and insulting. I was offered a role much lower than my current position - which i turned down, and then they reached out a few months later, asking me to come back. No thank you

Question 1
The standard agency questions, three rounds and a presentation
Overall it was a very standard process. Ultimately, I was not interested in the role so declined a follow up with them for a second interview. The role was too formulaic and stringent.

What’s the most challenging experience you’ve had with a client.
I applied online. I interviewed at AKQA in Sep 2021
Interview
After the initial call with a recruiter I was invited to a meeting with a hiring manager. The call was rescheduled twice. When we finally met, it felt like the hiring manager was not paying attention to our conversation at all, she was not listening, just texting and suddenly said she needs to jump off earlier because she needs to handle some fire in a project. I haven't heard from her or the recruiter ever since. I understand things can come up, but this was unprofessional and disrespectful towards a candidate.
