I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Ipsos (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2018
Interview
I was referred by an employee. Months later I get an email about a different but closely related position. I was first asked to submit a pre-recorded interview that they would review followed by a 30 minute phone interview by a HR recruiter a few days after submission of the video interview. I submit the video interview answers to questions by the deadline and wait for the phone interview. The recruiter forgets to call. I reach out about 30 minutes after the scheduled time and we hop on a call. Then, I am told that HR is still reviewing the pre-recorded interview answers and they will reach out if I am selected. Recruiter tells me about the potential next steps and asks if I have any questions. The whole thing is over in 7 minutes. I reach out 2 weeks later knowing what the answer would be and am told that they have decided to pursue other candidates.

Question 1
The pre-recorded video interview had the basics questions: greatest strengths/weaknesses, a few behavioral questions involving team work, and a question on which kind of office environment I liked.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ipsos
Interview
Pretty simple interview process. 1 with HR, another with a member of the hiring team, case study + interview. Overall pretty straight forward and communicative, it wasn’t drawn out or anything.

Tell me about yourself, tell us about your previous research experience
Overall, the interview process was a great experience and very responsive. Communication was clear and timely at every stage. I was given a case study and asked to present my analysis, which allowed me to demonstrate both technical and presentation skills. The team was professional, supportive, and asked thoughtful questions, making the entire process engaging and insightful.
