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.

I applied through college or 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.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Cincinnati, OH) in Mar 2019
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.
