I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at GfK
Interview
A screener interview with HR, followed by an interview with manager plus another interview with an SVP. Overall, the process was fairly quick--no more than a couple of weeks.
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at GfK in Oct 2018
Interview
Applied online. About one month later got in contact and did several rounds of interviewing (mostly Skype) with various team members, supervisors, and HR. Offer came in about 2.5 months after applying.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GfK (London, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
I had a couple of interviews, the first with two Research Directors who would be the team leads. The second with the head of division. Both were easy flowing conversations, neither was at all a grilling. They were more focussed on me showing intelligence and being interesting than asking "what do you do on a daily basis".
They were very transparent about what they were trying to do with the division and we discussed what i wanted out of the role, including progression opportunities. The head of division was able to sketch out a roadmap for promotion in the interview for me. And then later confirmed the steps and dates involved in the offer letter he wrote.
