Interviewed Sep 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 days)
I was sent over to Euromonitor through a employment agency. They mentioned the role is pretty much the same role as I had previously done for rover 7+ years. Reading up on them, it seems like a good fit and I was open to speaking to them.
I didn’t have an initial phone interview with the HR person (from what I remember now), but by passed to the 1-1 interview because the recruiter was good friends with the HR person at the company. So I was scheduled for an interview a couple of days later with the Sales Manager in charge of the group I’d be working in.
I was a little nervous, but speaking the lingo of what the company did, and what the role entailed was easy. I had done it for years before! I thought it was going well.. he asked me to tell me about myself, and then we went through my education, along with my job history.. all the normal stuff. He was dry, and I kept trying to loosen up, but couldn’t. I had solid answers, but I’m sure my personality couldn’t come out. Towards the end I felt like he thought I lied to him about my experience because I did grow rapidly within the company. He asked me to give him the names and info of my past managers so he could call and verify my information. The interview was about an hour long if not more.
I followed up with a thank you letter and the contact info for my past managers. The recruiter told me I didn’t make it to the next round of interviews. She said “he liked your experience, but found it hard that you were so successful” lol I don’t know what that means.. but that was the end of the interview process for me.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
Well, I had read fairly bad reviews about this company and I now I can add mine to the long list.. Nr1 it took almost 3 weeks and 3 reminding email to finally get a phone interview. Short notice seemed to be the way things are done since I was given 1 day to get myself ready..and when you are already a business professional, this is rough.. I talked to the person who basically asked me VERY detailled information about my background, academic and professional achievements + questions like "how would you find out how many apples are produced in the US"... some might think it is a funny and interessting question (which I thought it was) but on phone..seriously?? You wanna give the chance of a personal interaction for questions like these...
All together the person was just asking questions with absolutely no interaction or interest in my answers, so if you dont match their requirements, you basically have no chance of even getting a 1-1 interview.. I was very disappointed since I have friends doing this job in other companies with the same degrees and sometimes less professional experience!
I was told to hear an answer + feedback on thursday...got a very generic email the next monday evening.. so this was basically a waste of my time and I will not keep anything good about it.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 2 days)
I had about 1.5hours long 1:1 interview with the Head of the department I will be working for (direct manager). Know your resume very well for the interview and has the cliche - strengths, weakness, why sales? (and not marketing or PR), how can you contribute? short term career plans? long temr plans, etc...
Was called for 2nd round - group interview followed by Role-Play of Sales pitch to client followed by a written test.
People - friendly and open to suggestions.
Office - depending on which country office you join - the culture and atmosphere changes
Work culture - support work-life balance

Negotiation Details
They provide one of the lowest pay in the industry in terms of the basic/fixed pay. If you are joining the Sales team - they expect you to earn your pay from commissions (which is better than most in the industry)...Research gets paid higher than Sales but still not good enough for the industry.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Presentation.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
The first round was just asking basic questions like.
- background
- education
- personality
- your expectation from this position
- how to deal with ..... (situational questions)
This part was about an hour.
The second round was a role play... I have to represent Euromonitor while interviewer represents customer (she represented Coca Cola). They gave me passport password so I can log on to learn and to see what passport (data base) can deliver to customers.
Two main objective: 1. to see how I approach customers 2. how to sell more products to customers (Coca cola is our existing customer but we need to expand their account)
Then, I had to write a follow up email.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Beijing, Beijing (China) (took a day)
RD1: briefly asked me " how do you know about the company""how do you know about this job". oh, the HR asked me whether i knew about the research methodology, the 4 P principles in marketing. The research methodology is all on its website. as a country research analyst, trade interviews.are the most important things to do. so HR will ask what character will you like to play if you want to access to the key source of information.
RD2: the questions just popped out without anytime to think carefully about. if you are given five weeks of time to do a research project, how will you schedule to do the 4 steps of research. if your project manager asks you to rank the current soft drinks companies in the market, how are you gonna collect data.did you ever hear of any other research companies etc. at last, HR asked me to persuade her to give her the offer of this.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
I had a phone interview to discuss my educational and work background with HR and was offered a first round interview in their office a few days later. The interview was with the US Market Team lead and the Head of Research. The interview mainly consisted of what I specialized in at my previous work and two case questions regarding how I would go about doing the research on certain products.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 weeks)
The first round of interview with the senior research analyst & manager A went well and I was contacted 2 weeks later for another round of interview. my second round of interview with another hiring manager B & a senior analyst, was quite intense. The manager B had both of his eyes widely open without even blinking and he looked as though he was having constipation. I felt totally uneasy and awkward by the way he stared at people & often times when i was answering his questions, he would interrupt & proceed to another questions. At the end of the session, the analyst told me that i can contact him if i have anything to ask but when i emailed him 2 weeks later, he didnt even bother to reply. I guess he was really busy with the other applicants as he told me they had 8 interviewees for this post.
oh Well. maybe im still a newbie and interview is suppose to be this way.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
I was eager to find a new job because I was going through a break up, I took this right off the bat. They were desperate, I was desperate, they had been losing good employees and needed to recover. The main director of their research was very unfriendly, very awkward, and said very odd remarks about their London office which left me feeling awkward, but I needed the job. Sitting through the interview was difficult, it felt very inexperienced and disorganized.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
Recruitment process consisted of 2 1:2 interviews. First interview was very easy going while the second one was aimed to be more of a roasting, aimed to put you more off your ease and see how you act under pressure.
The discussion was focused on my understanding of the role, as well as how I understand the datasets used and how my experience would match the role. Overall an average interview.
