      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at AKQA

      Interview

      Smooth and easy. The entire process was friendly and professional and the hiring process was fast and efficient - I couldn't complain on this point. They have big clients and that could sound intimidating but I'd say it was a good experience for me.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AKQA in Dec 2020

      Interview

      I had several interviews with both director levels and designers levels. The whole process made sense and people are good with asking questions, love the vibes even it is virtual.

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at AKQA (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      Phone interview with HR & the Hiring Manager, then in-person interview. After the in-person interview, the company decided to go with another candidate who had Advertising/Marketing experience. Weeks later, I found out the job is still open and no where on the job descriptions says Advertising experience is required for the job. Had someone actually read my resume, it would clearly show that I did not have Advertising industry experience. I should have done my homework and read the reviews on Glassdoor. It's a boys club and you have to fit a certain mold in order to be hired. And it seems lying is a common practice throughout the company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If hired, what strengths would you bring to the company?
