I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ipsos (New York, NY) in Jul 2015
Interview
I was first contacted by a recruiter, then subsequently by another interviewer who was a Director on the telephone. I received a call to meet in-person in their New York Office. I had interviews with a Director and Senior Vice President.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were general interview questions, about who I was, my professional work experience and why would I want to work for Ipsos. In addition, I was asked detailed technical research questions associated with the specialty area of interest. Also, I was asked my about my project and people management experience. I had to provide examples to support my work experience.
Easy and straightforward, I got approached by company HR and after initial interview met with the hiring managers. Received an offer after just those 2 interviews. Would recommend using a referral to get in front of HR more easily.
There were Three interviews total all with upper management. Pretty standard questions regarding research experience with one assessment that I was given 48 hours to complete. Positive experience overall and took the job offer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ipsos (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2021
Interview
The interview process was extremely smooth. First, I spoke with a recruiter for about 45 minutes. The questions were all relatively basic, focusing on the extent to which skills from my past experiences could translate to the current job description. Second, I needed to do a quantitative exercise that was simple (interpret somewhat ambiguous graphs, make recommendations). Finally, I had two sets of panel interviews. The panel interviews were relatively similar to one another; mostly basic questions for an interview (why Ipsos, etc.). Soon after the second panel interview I received an offer.
