Terrible experience. After passing the phone screen, I was asked to interview in person at their San Francisco office. Since this would be a relocation, Kantar offered to pay for travel expenses, telling me someone would contact me to coordinate flights, hotel etc. However, this person told me I’d have to book my own travel and submit for reimbursement. This should’ve been a BIG RED FLAG. Since I was far down the process, I went ahead and trusted their integrity. Well the interview was difficult, but i got through it. I was asked to prepare a “case study” on a prior report, then present to 5 high ranking people. I could tell it wasn’t exactly what they were after, but it was what I could throw together in the little amount of time I had working at my current job for 50+ hours. I did not like that I was constantly interrupted during the presentation which was disrespectful, especially since I asked the room for questions after each slide was fully presented. I was then interviewed via video conference by all but 1 person, plus lunch with a few junior staff. Verdict: some of the questions were absurd, and they seemed to have this “holier than thou attitude” for a job description that involved more junior level tasks than the position title (senior research director) would indicate. But what made this situation atrocious was that it took them almost 2 months to reimburse my travel expenses (~$1000) for an interview that should’ve been conducted on video conference, being that everyone but 1 person was based in different offices. Traveling to SF and staying in the downtown area where their office is located is not cheap. I had to call and leave messages daily for their accounting department who either didn’t call me back, or they just that my invoice hadn’t been approved. Anyway, the fact that a company would treat prospective candidates in that matter is pretty indicative of the type of company they truly are. Furthermore, the recruiting company (Cielo) who brought me in bore no responsibility in this matter.
