Candidates describe Kantar's Data Analyst interviews differently, so prepare for a range of formats. Two of the three candidates report a three-stage process, and the third describes a recruiter screen followed by an in-person visit.
Technical screening centers on SQL and Python fundamentals. One candidate reports an aptitude round with basic queries and simple data manipulation. Another reports recruiter-stage SQL questions that leaned on remembering specific functions rather than understanding underlying concepts. Brush up on core query writing and know common SQL functions well, rather than focusing only on advanced topics.
The candidate who received an offer reports a hiring manager interview with logical and problem-solving questions. Interviewers wanted to hear the reasoning behind an answer, even when the candidate got stuck. That candidate's final round was a case study presentation over Teams, and they say they wished they had practiced it more. Practice structuring an analysis and explaining findings and recommendations to stakeholders.
Behavioral questions appear too. One candidate was asked why they wanted to work at Kantar and to walk through their background, and another reports a situational interview. Have a specific reason for choosing Kantar ready. Experiences on logistics differ: one candidate describes a well-organized, friendly process, while another reports a long, disorganized on-site visit and feedback that contradicted what was said in the room. One candidate says responses can take up to a month.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report an opening conversation about background and role fit. One says the recruiter explained the whole process up front, and another reports a 30-minute Teams call with behavioral questions such as why Kantar. Another candidate reports SQL questions at this stage.
Candidates report different technical formats. One describes an aptitude round covering Python and SQL basics. Another reports a SQL test discussed in person, plus a situational interview. The offer recipient describes logical problem-solving questions with the hiring manager that focused on reasoning. Expect fundamentals to matter.
The candidate who received an offer reports a final case study presentation over Teams, where communicating findings mattered. Another candidate reports a final HR round with behavioral questions about key experiences and career goals. Final stages may therefore differ by candidate or team.
