I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kantar (New York, NY) in Nov 2015
Interview
Applied through the Fall Recruitment Consortium. Had initial 30 minute interview in NYC with two of the associates. Candidacy was advanced to 90 min. Phone case study interview (45 minutes to look at Case Study then 45 to discuss). Immediately received an email for a final interview at the Kantar Retail headquarters in CT. Had a full day (9-2:30) of three interviews with different sectors of the firm, a math assessment, lunch with an associate and a group problem solving task (a case presentation) with several other candidates.

I had one phone interview. The interviewer asked a series of behavioral questions and then two case questions. He was relatively awkward and responded with each question asking "Ok, Nice."

It was an extremely thorough and involved process. I found the job on indeed, submitted my resume and cover letter and was offered a 1st interview by phone about 1.5 months later. After the 1st interview, I was offered a 2nd phone interview five days later (a case study was sent to me 20 minutes prior to the phone call). After the 2nd interview, I was requested to come for a 3rd and final interview event one week later. This final interview day consisted of three 2-on-1 interviews lasting approx an hour each, a math exam lasting an hour with GMAT style questions, and a 2.5 hour group case study.
