I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen
Interview
I was headhunted from my own country by a recruiter based in Dubai for a job that was based in Dubai. I got into a phone interview (Skype was not big yet that time) where 3-4 people were on the other line interviewing me. There was the HR person, someone else, and the head of the department I was going to join. The dept head led the questioning. The interview was pleasant enough and wasn't very difficult, but of course I had to be on the whole time and project confidence and strength. It was a pretty good experience.

Question 1
describe my work experience and how this relates to the job I was being interviewed for
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!

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.
