Anonymous Interview Candidate in Singapore
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Kantar (Singapore) in Aug 2018
The Company and HR Department did not get back to me after my third round of interview despite my follow-up (i.e. a couple of emails and subsequent calling). Of course, eventually, I took it as they were not interested in the hire. However, the HR person could have exercised some basic courtesy to send me a rejection email or call me back (despite he/she promising to do so). Quite a disappointment considering that we have met a couple of times!
- What did you do in your previous role? What skills would you bring to this role?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Kantar in Jun 2016
It was a nearly a 3 hour interview with 5 different staff members. There were 3 behavioral interviews and 2 case interviews- one analytical and the other strategic. The interview was actually fun. It was great a) to see their process in action and b) to experience their culture first hand. Although the interview was long and slightly stressful, the interviewers were really kind, smart, and made me feel comfortable. Probably one of the most engaging interviews I've had.
- What do you know about the company? What do you think the culture is like here? What would you like to share that isn't highlighted on your resume?
