I applied online. Got an email from a recruiter 3 weeks later asking when would be a good time to chat. I responded but never heard back. Tried following up one last time but still nothing.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen in Apr 2016
Interview
Just be confident, open, honest, flexible clear and willingness to learn . They ask about your family, personal life, education and professional experience. Why you want to join Nielsen? What you like about our company?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Nielsen
Interview
Initial screen involved a conversation with HR. This was followed by a series of interviews (8) strung out over months. One of the interviewers was clearly not trained how to interview, otherwise everyone was professional. After the 7th interview I was told that I would be made an offer. The 8th 'interview' was to tell me that the position had been killed for the quarter due to budgetary decisions and that the would contact me the following FY. Have had interim follow up to that effect. Process really left me at a loss, although the hiring manager seems like a solid manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very straightforward process, nothing out of the ordinary in terms of questions.
