MMR Research Worldwide Interview Questions
& Process

All the steps were communicated clearly via email, which was helpful for record-keeping. I had two interviews, one with the line manager and director, and another with HR separately. Both were consistent regarding company details and role duties. They also really focused on ensuring the candidate's values and goals align with the company's. I had to prepare a case presentation, and the entire process was conducted in English, even though I work in the Brazilian market; all company communications are in English.

It was a professional process. First, there were some written screening questions, then a video call with a recruiter from England. After that, I went to their office for an in-person taste evaluation where I had to tell the difference between samples. Everyone was nice, and it was actually pretty fun. You gotta make sure you don't have food allergies or take meds that mess with your taste. Also, you need to be outgoing and good at explaining what you're tasting to other people.

The interview experience at MMR was a mixed bag. While the people were great, the disorganization of the whole process was quite evident and felt disrespectful. I was initially contacted by MMR for their interview process on very short notice and was fast-tracked through the first two stages. After clearing those, I was given a screening test less than a day before the formal interview, even though I had mentioned I was working that evening and had limited time to complete it alongside preparing for the interview and my job. The interview itself was challenging, involving three parts: a PowerPoint presentation, a data analysis task, and a formal discussion with staff. Despite the interview going smoothly and the staff being lovely, myself and others had to follow up for feedback, which took almost a full work week to receive. After the feedback, I was informed a recruiter call was scheduled for the next day, but they called me later that same day during a family event I had told them about, even after I explained it wasn't a good time. Ultimately, I didn't get the role, but looking back, I feel I avoided a bad situation due to the disrespectful treatment and the chaotic recruitment process.

There were 3 stages in the interview process. It started with an online exercise, followed by a brief call with the recruiter, and concluded with an assessment day in London. The assessment day itself was pretty relaxed and informal, despite having various tasks. However, preparing for it took a lot of time, which was a bit frustrating given that I was rejected the next day.
