I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Kantar (New York, NY) in Jun 2016
Interview
Phone screen with hiring manager. I skipped the first step since I interviewed for one of the sister companies prior to this role. The recruiter called me about this role prior to it being posted.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kantar (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2015
Interview
I was referred by a friend from college who worked in the New York office. I applied for Chicago office position. The whole process lasted about 2-3 weeks, including an initial phone interview and an in-person interview. The initial interview was pretty standard. They take a lot of interest in the research experience you have and ask questions about research methods. In-person interview consisted of short interviews with 3-4 people, a case study of sorts, and ends with the opportunity to briefly shadow someone in your position currently. Ended up getting a job offer but took a different one that paid for my move to Chicago. Seemed like very long hours. Takes a while for upward mobility in the company.

Question 1
All very standard questions. No odd curveballs. Prepare to talk extensively about any prior research.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kantar (Waltham, MA) in May 2015
Interview
Applied through college job site. First step was 30 minute phone interview. Next, final round interview took place at the location in Waltham. I interviewed with three different people separately, then did a quick case study that was fairly straightforward. Nothing too tricky. Finally, I "shadowed" a current Research Analyst for a short time and could ask them questions. Overall, everyone was very nice and the process was not too stressful.
