Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 4 weeks)
Took a phone interview on a Friday. The next week I was set up on a assessment test. Pretty basic math skills. Consisted of 10 questions and three case studies. Followed 2 days of 1 on 1 interviews. By then I had already been offered a job by someone else.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Covington, KY (took a day)
Had a first round interview on campus with the recruiter. Mostly behavioral questions and a relaxed environment. I then had to take a short test. I believe it was 10 quantitative questions and 2 case questions. I went on to a second round interview in Covington, KY. I met first with a recently hired analyst and then had three back-to-back interviews with upper management, each one lasting 45 minutes. All the questions were behavioral. All in all it was not a bad interview experience.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 3 weeks)
After applying through a resume drop I was selected to take their analytical assessment. This test consisted of story problems that only required basic algebra to solve, a case study problem, and a written section where you write a letter to a client. A week and a half later i was given an interview. This was a 1 on 1 interview where I was asked behavior questions and a few simple analytical/critical thinking questions.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Cincinnati, OH (took 2 days)
First, there is a typical phone interview where they ask simple background questions. If they are interested, you will complete an analytical test with problem-solving math questions and a case study question about marketing. If you make it to the final round, you will have a day of three interviews with various managers/directors where you will talk more about your background, answer technical questions if they apply to the position you are applying for, and personal questions about you as an individual.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
Phone interview was very basic; I was asked to go over my resume and other questions like why Nielson/what about the position interested me. Then I was scheduled to take the skills test which was 90 minutes (10 math problems, 2 written answer questions).

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 3 weeks)
The typical telephone screen was followed up by an assessment test in person. The aptitude test was pretty much as it has been described here -- personally, I found it VERY challenging, in particular in the time frame that was given. In addition to knowing percentage questions, make sure to review a marketing textbook and work through some written test involving break even analyses, etc. (as others have pointed out).

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Cairo (Egypt) (took 2 weeks)
After submitting my resume, I first received a phone call from a recruiter who offered me an invitation to sit in for an assessment test the following day. The test was comprised of about 15-20 questions on fairly straight forward business case problems. They tested simple quantitative skills and business terminology. They also included a question which tested language and communication proficiency. I unfortunately did not pass this test but received constructive feedback from the recruiter on how to improve.
