I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Cincinnati, OH) in Oct 2018
Interview
I talked to them at Career Fair. I received a call the next day to attend an interview pre-night and schedule an interview the following week. The interview was on campus with two analysts, mostly behavioral questions with a few critical thinking questions. About a week after the interview, I received an email letting me know I was being invited back for an on-site interview. This was at their office in Cincinnati, and I had three interviews similar to my on-campus one with individuals ranging from analysts to director, and one case study interview. There was a panel and lunch with some current analysts, followed by a pretty difficult math assessment (similar to GMAT questions). A couple days later I received a call that they were extending an offer of employment! Overall the process was very quick, and everyone I spoke with loved their jobs and were just interested in seeing if I would be a good fit.

Question 1
Imagine that a small, local company wants to bring their product to a large grocery store (Kroger), what kind of data would you want to collect that would help you present a case to Kroger and convince them to put your products on their shelves?
I applied through university. I interviewed at Nielsen (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2019
Interview
There were two interviews: the first being on campus and the second being at the location. Everyone I met with was friendly but professional. The environment felt inclusive. The final round interview was a few hours broken into a case, a question about products, and then my general engagement.

Interview
I applied to Nielsen through a career pipeline my University provides and received an on-campus interview just a week later. That interview was arranged as a panel between myself and two current Nielsen employees. Just two days later, my hiring manager invited me to an interview in Cincinnati the following weekend. At my interview, I took an analytical assessment and then moved into lunch and an afternoon of four one-on-one behavioral and case-study interviews. It was a quick process but slowed once all interviews were complete. I'm currently waiting to hear back, now a week and a half from my day in Cincinnati.

I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Cincinnati, OH) in Mar 2019
Interview
Interviewed through two rounds of on-campus and in-office interviews. Recruiters came to my university for a day of behavioral and case study interviews. These were run of the mill, assessing general aptitude for the job. Moved on to the next and final interview, consisting of a quantitative reasoning test and five in-person interviews at their Cincinnati office, including two case study and three behavioral interviews. The entire process took four weeks and was streamlined.
