Short overall process. Got a fast response and just a couple rounds. Each level got back to me quite fast. Slightly challenging questions to test your thinking process, but nothing too intense.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your previous roles and how they contribute to work at Kantar
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kantar (Londen, Engeland) in Aug 2023
Interview
It was all quite quick and efficient up until the final stage but that was thwarted by people on annual leave so not their fault. Stage 1: Screening call with recruiter, mostly just logistical kind of questions really Stage 2: 45 min initial call with two senior members. Normal kind of behavioural interview talking about me and my experience level and projects I've done. Stage 3: 90 min technical interview with two senior members. Talk through some of my projects in technical detail and then share my screen to do a Python coding task live. This involved loading a jupyter notebook they sent me along with a csv file and doing some simple kind of data analysis with it. Stage 4: Final interview with three senior members. Mainly aimed at introducing me to another team lead that I would be working with so a lot of just chatting about the company. Also had a couple of graphs of historic data from some companies sales and asked me to identify issues in the data presented (not enough time range shown, or effects of seasonality).
A coding test, then two interviews with the last including a case study. The interviewers were pretty uninspiring but the case study was interesting. I felt like they didn't really read my cv and gave a blanket interview to everyone applicant.
