I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AKQA (London, England) in Jul 2018
Interview
Couple of phone calls for initial chat, and face to face interview. Talked about the project experience. they got back with their feed back. see below my full experience .
Had an interview recently that felt misaligned. The role and what was discussed didn’t fully match, and the energy in the conversation was a bit disengaged. Would recommend clarifying role scope and expectations early. Recruiter was great.
Interviews were very smooth. Did 4 interview in a day plus an assestment test. Everyone was easy going and very interested on listening, put yourself comfortable and make you feel you could be yourself
