I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kantar (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
I applied online, followed by a phone interview the next day. I then had a bunch of back-to-back interviews with multiple teams (a total of four people interviewed me face-to-face, two of which were together, and two of which were individuals). Followed up by interview with Managing Director, and a very basic skills test to determine your ability to write key insights, analyze data, and attention to details.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None, was fairly straightforward/normal questions. Some teams were really interested in specifics of your prior work experience, so come prepared to answer that.
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Kantar (Wilton, CT) in Nov 2013
Interview
They came to my university (they were an hour late). Had an interview with for 30 minutes. Interviewer was young and a bit timid. But he was a really nice guy. Normal questions about why Kantar, eg ... how did I handle a tough group situation? and my favorite brand? -- and why? ...Got second round interview. I was interviewed over the phone. They sent a power point slide, with normal things they do at Kantar -- and asked me to analyze it. While simple, they were tricky. It is consulting after all. I thought I did terribly in that interview. They called me for a final round interview. However, that was after a month and a half and I had forgotten about them (If i had a job I wouldnt have even replied to their invitation).... went to the final round. Day long. 3 interviews, math test and group interview... They rejected me at the end -- it was Sad cause I did not have a job at that time.
