I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ipsos
Interview
The interview process itself was average, but what truly disappointed me was the wait for a response. I waited for almost two weeks until I received an email asking me to call back to discuss the results. Then, she disappeared for an entire week, leaving me in limbo as I attempted to contact her every day, fearful that I had missed out on the opportunity. Finally, after another week, I received a call only to be informed that I did not pass stage 1.
Firstly, I fail to comprehend why she couldn't simply email me that I had been rejected so that I could move on, instead of leaving me in a state of nervousness and anxiety each day. Secondly, it's perplexing why she didn't mention her absence for the entire week in the initial email, leaving me to make futile calls daily. It's incredibly disappointing and frustrating..
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).
