I applied online. I interviewed at Ipsos (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2020
Interview
The initial interview was a one-way video interview, with five or six questions, followed by a very simple phone interview to go over the salary and expectations of the job. The third interview was actually three thirty minute interviews, conducted virtually because of covid. It was more nerve-racking than it needed to be, the process was very smooth, and I heard back two weeks later, after the Christmas holiday.
