I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied for a few jobs and heard back regarding one of them about a month later. I had an HR phone screen where we then scheduled another phone interview with a VP. After this interview, I received three more Skype interviews, which I think would be in-person if you're closer to one of the offices. This process lasted maybe 3-4 weeks since the initial screen. I got an offer about a week after the final interview for a job starting two months from then.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work at Nielsen? Why do you think you'd be a good fit for this position? What do you know about Nielsen? If we told a client Initiative X was good and they should go for it, what are some reasons they might decide not to? Division-specific real-world/practice questions. They definitely wanted to hear you work through them, see if you had what it takes to do analytics.
A recruiter started with a quick phone chat to get to know ,e better. Asked about my background, experience, and why I'm interested in the role. Got a few behavioral questions to see if my values aligned with Nielsen’s culture.
An interview followed by an in person case study. The process was fairly straight forward but the case is not easy if you are not an analytical person to begin with.

It very easy. Basic question are asked. They ask what did I work as in previous company and how I can contribute to current role. Ask why I want to join the company.
