The Nielsen Company Account Service Executive Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 1+ week)

Applied online for the Account Services Executive position and received an email for an interview request about a week and a half to two weeks later. Accepted the phone interview-- first round phone interview was not too bad. A lot of questions regarding resume, and how my experiences matched with the required qualifications. Also, was asked "What kind of information would a client of Nielsen need if they wanted Nielsen to determine whether or not the client's product would be successful in the current market." Answered, and was offered a second-round phone interview. The secowith /nd-round phone interview consisted of a conference call with two hiring managers in place of an in-person interview due to the distance of the office where the position was located. Was asked A LOT about my experiences and specifically experiences/ abilities with numbers and Excel, as well as a few things mentioned in my cover letter. The hiring mangers seemed interested as they elaborated on the position to me for a good 15 minutes, but alas I was not offered the position.
