Technical Coding Other

The interview process was pretty straightforward and not overly technical. It mainly covered regression, fundamental statistics, and the basics of coding languages such as Python and SQL. It would be beneficial to brush up on multiple linear regression and Excel skills beforehand.

Technical Case Presentation Behavioral

So at Ipsos, first you'll chat with a recruiter over the phone, then there are online tests covering aptitude, skills, and cognitive abilities. After that, it's usually an in-person or video interview where you might do case studies or give presentations. They really want to know why you're into market research, if you have the right technical skills like SQL and Python, and basically if you'd be a good fit. The exact steps can change depending on the job, but they always check your analytical skills, how you handle things, and if you know your stuff for the specific role.

Technical Behavioral

Super easy process. They stick to the basics, primarily focusing on linear regression. The interviewer was really helpful and not robotic at all. Though, honestly, getting to the next stage, even after a great interview, feels like it's mostly up to luck here.
