Q&A With Ogilvy Employees

Very generous and grows with seniority. We always get off between Christmas and New Years. Holidays, sick time, personal days, and vacation time...also 4 summer fridays off between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Taking PTO is encouraged from a work life balance standpoint.

Ogilvy called me for a phone interview and then asked me to do some in person interviews. (I did not directly apply) I was given an offer that same day. Time to hear back completely depends on the need, the interviewers involved, and other priorities people are juggling. It helps if you have someone on the inside who can get your resume into the specific team’s hands. People also get referral bonuses for being others in, so check your network to see who you know!

Depending on how you define this...various offices do a lot of volunteering for the communities they live in, we also have informational sessions at a lot of different universities and have hosted colleges to come onsite for presentations and discussions.

I know we double check references and past employment history.

If it’s a no, an immediate yes, or we want you to talk to more people...you should hear within 24 hours. If we are interviewing multiple candidates it may take a little longer but you should still hear back something from HR within 24 hours. Sometimes the interview process is spread over a couple weeks for an approved position. For my group we are really picky about who we bring in for in person interviews so if the team feels you’ll be a good fit, I’ve made a lot of offers the same day.
