Initial phone screening interview with HR (about 20 mins) - asked basic questions about my resume, experience etc. Although I didn't have much market research experience, I still got the second interview (which is strange in retrospect, given how important this is for the job). The second phase is an in person interview with a director level person and Community Mgrs I and II ( all individual, one-on-ones and half-hour each). They mostly ask about your experience, why you want to work in Market Research - have pointed out some specific questions below. This was followed by a written survey/client email test for 45 mins. The written test had me write a response email to a customer query and design a 10-question basic survey in response to the presented case. It wasn't very complicated, but you have to be quick since you have 45 mins to do this. I didn't get past this stage, but after this, they send you consumer insight over email and you have to make a presentation within a week and send it back to them. That's the last phase of the interview process.

It was fairly straightforward. I came in for 1 round with 3 people for 30 minutes each and then another round with a presentation. I found everyone to be easy to talk to and the questions were not repetitive. I enjoyed giving the presentation. I also got to meet my boss in the process, which I think is an important step. The one thing that I found frustrating was the wait time in between the two interviews. The recruiter kept promising to call me back and let me know the status, but it took about a month before he did. It was stressful because I had other offers on the table.
