Interviewed Apr 2010 in Stamford, CT (took 1 week)
First there was a quantitative skill test to filter applicants who make it to the interview. Standard behavioral questions. Nothing too difficult.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Got the interview from career services. Went to a night before presentation which was helpful because they assume you know their organizational structure and ask where you want to work. Just a pretty simply fit/behavioral interview with one person. The interviewers all seemed very young, which made the interview more conversational.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I am a sophomore undergrad university student who interviewed with Nielsen for their Professional Services Internship. The interview lasted about 40 minutes- it was 2:1, with my interviewer (a senior vice-president) and a note-taker (from BASES specialized analytics) who would occasionally ask questions accompanying my main interviewers. Both employees were clearly experienced in trying to foster a comfortable interview environment, which I appreciated. The senior interviewer described the position and answered all questions very thoroughly. I had a handful of short "tell me about your interest in this position" or "tell me about your academic background"-type questions, 3 standard behavioral questions, an unexpected case-study type of question, followed by logistical questions.
Interview Questions
You are a senior project manager with the option to choose one of two clients for your next project:
Client A, whose brand A has a very broad customer base consisting of customers who buy Brand A infrequently.
Client B, whose brand B has a much smaller but more loyal customer base.
If you had enough resources to conduct research for only one brand, which would you pick (and believe will be most successful), and why?
