The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Nielsen in Apr 2010
Interview
The process consisted of a phone interview which was pretty standard, followed by an analytical assessment. This assessment was mainly business math word problems and a few writing samples. The math itself wasn't very difficult but it is more about the process of working through the problems. The formal in person interview was 2 one hour interviews with various other employees and a lunch with another employee. The lunch was very informal and allowed me the opportunity to see an employees personality. Overall, a great experience. I have not begun working yet, so I don't know very much about the day to day, but I am looking forward to it.

Question 1
They asked me about how I would go about launching a product. It was an exercise in problem solving.
I had two rounds of interviews; one with HR and one with a senior director. I was surprised that I received a rejection letter even though my interview went great at I was told that they would expedite my next round of interviews and prepped me on it!

Question 1
General questions based on previous experience predominantly on processes used
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen
Interview
Interviewed with 6 different people over the course of a few weeks, and spent multiple hours completing a case study just to never receive an email back after I followed up after the final round interviews. Clearly they don't respect the time and effort that candidates put into the process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Nielsen (Toronto, ON) in July 2022
Interview
HR person set me up for an interview and then completely did not show. No follow up email, no explanation, just plain ghosted. Had an interview with their sister company NielsonIQ and the HR person was VERY dry and it seemed like they were doing a laundry list question format for the screener. They made it a very unpleasant experience, said they would follow up by X date, then GHOSTED.
