I have applied for the position online and was invited for an interview. The whole process (since I applied till I got an invitation for an interview) took around a week. The HR manager was very professional and friendly, fully represented the working environment at IPSOS. The interview was very relaxed, with an HR manager, associate manager and one more co-worker. I was very pleased with the way the things were handled during an interview and that also showed me what type of environment IPSOS have.

I applied online and was contacted by phone to be invited to the assessment day with only two days notice. The day ran from 9-5 and included two reasoning tests taken onsite, a group exercise, a brainstorming exercise, an individual interview, and a work task where we were given 1.5 hours to prepare an individual presentation based on data provided. It was the longest and most exhausting assessment day I have attended. However, I found the interview to be the easiest part - the format was quite informal, the atmosphere was relatively friendly and non-intimidating, and it was mainly talking through my CV, less competency-based than I expected.
