I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen in Oct 2010
Interview
Applied through university career site and was granted an interview. Interview was mostly behavioral (how do you describe a difficult idea to a group of people? tell me of a situation in which you did not get along with someone you were working with, etc) and there was one case-like question (you are consulting with a company who's market share is growing but with flat product sales...how do you advise them or explain the situation)? There was also an analytic assessment test w/ some basic microeconomic and probability questions.
Interviewer was very nice and the entire process was pretty comfortable. Received notification in about 2 weeks that I did not get a second interview.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Markham, ON) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview process was quite pleasant. I applied though my school's career portal over Christmas break, heard back a few days later. I then received a phone screening call in January and was sent an initial assessment. After passing an email scheduling an interview was set up where I went in to Markham and spoke with the talent acquisition. About a week later, I received an email scheduling my interview with the hiring manager two weeks later. After an unsuccessful interview, I never heard back from then again until I followed up months later. The position had been filled by then.

Question 1
Mostly resume related questions. They really try to make as easy as they can for you to succeed. It felt like more of a conversation. One question in particular was how I would use my skills to assist a project.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen
Interview
Very pleasant and structured, some difficult questions. My resume wasn't exactly lined up for the job but the interviewer seemed to have interest in my perspective... didn't make it past the personality test. But the process was a college recruiting event, then to a simple meet and greet, then a 1:1 interview on campus the next day. There is a very quick turn around for this and I didn't have much time to prepare but passed the 1:1 and they sent out a logic and personality test.
