The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ipsos in Jun 2007
Interview
Heard of the company through a friend. Took her out to lunch to learn more about the company. Met boss + rest of the team informally at first, then formal interview process started. Completed a phone interview with HR manager (first screening process) then came to local office and had a 1 on 1 interview with boss, then additional interviews with 6 members of the team. Last, 2 members of the team took me out to lunch informally to judge whether I would fit with their corporate culture.

Question 1
How would you handle a situation where 2 people on your team needed you to complete a task but you knew you could only finish one of them in time?
First round was a phone screen with recruiter, then proceeded with a group interview, and lastly interview with VP of the team. The process took about a month. Communication was consistent throughout
First, a phone interview was conducted to determine the time for an in-person interview. The in-person interview lasted one hour and primarily assessed individual abilities; it required a presentation to illustrate a case study.
