I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ipsos (Sydney)
Interview
The interview process includes phone interview and assessment day. In the assessment day, you will be given group case study, presentation, written test, one on one interview. Yeah a lot. I’ve taken the whole interview, and been waiting for their assessment day for a really long time. but after finish weeks, no one tells me anything updates about my application. They kept saying they wanted everyone feel beings respected, the truth what candidates felt is totally the opposite way. They let themselves have enough options so they invited 4 times amount of people they could hire to take the interview, and refused to give a piece of word to people made to the final interview.
All about storytelling using data. Two individual tasks and a group task, all based on the same dataset - the key was to pick out interesting trends around a topical subject (GenAI driven advertising).
