Would it be out of line during interviews to ask about agency revenue/growth or account health/trends?

Totally fine to ask about agency growth and overall health, especially if it’s relevant to the role you’re interviewing for. Don’t expect them to share any real revenue numbers though. And specifics by account are a little less kosher.

Remember, first and foremost you’re interviewing to work for the agency, not a specific client, even if there’s a client name talked about.
