I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ipsos
Interview
There was no official opening but I sent my documents. The company was quick to respond. I had an interview with the department head, which was casual in terms of atmosphere but thorough in terms of questions. A week after that I got an offer.
