I have attended interview at Publicis twice in my career. Both the time I found the interviewer was rude and oversmart and was asking irrelevant questions which were not at all related to the technology also not mentioned on JD. I have reminded him twice that I never worked on that thing also it was not a part of JD still he continued to ask on it. Better not to waste time on this company.
