      Senior Project Manager Interview

      Oct 21, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AKQA (Washington, DC) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      I was contacted by an internal recruiter on LinkedIn, which led quickly to a three 1hr+ phone calls with internal recruiting staff and members of the project management team. This was followed by a 4hr in-person assessment/interview in the DC office, where I first was asked to complete an assessment, then present it to two account staff on the particular account/client. Then followed three panel interviews of 2-3 individuals from the particular account and project management teams. A few days later the recruiting lead let me know an official offer was coming, which arrived three weeks to the day of our first phone call. The entire experience was very professional and streamlined, and everyone was incredibly clear about roles, responsibilities, fit, and experience requirements. No punches pulled.

      Senior Project Manager Interview

      Oct 23, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AKQA (Berlin) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      I interviewed with AKQA Berlin for a Senior PM role and had a really smooth experience overall. The process included two rounds — an intro call with the recruiter, followed by a 1:1 with a senior team member. Both conversations were professional, kind, and gave me space to speak openly about my experience. Although I wasn’t selected in the end, they shared thoughtful feedback and mentioned staying in touch for freelance or more hybrid roles, which I appreciated. If you're interviewing for a similar role, I’d suggest being clear about how you manage creative workflows and timelines, and how you work across teams. I felt heard and respected throughout — which isn’t always a given in this industry.

      Senior Project Manager Interview

      Nov 4, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at AKQA in Sep 2025

      Interview

      I have had 1 interview with the recruiter. Even though their range was quite outside mine (and way below market standards for the role), I was promised that they would check in with the hiring manager, so see if they can come at least midway, but they have been neglecting to follow up (aka ghosting). In the same interview, the recruiter seemed to be aware of the salaries my current employer is offering, and proceeded to complain that it would also be great if they had the same level of pay. I found it quite unprofessional and off-putting. The role and company still seem interesting to me, but the treatment towards the candidates is not good.
