Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 days)
Nielsen had posted a job posting on my university job board so I got the first-round interview from that. They asked me to allocate 2 hours for the interview, but be prepared for longer, especially if they're running late.
First I had a half-hour behavioral interview, which they sprinkled throughout with small case questions, like the Listerine question another reviewer had. I was a bit thrown off by them, so just be prepared to answer. I spent the next 1.5 hours taking an analytical assessment, which I prepared for by spending an hour practicing GMAT questions. I finished early, which I think is a good indicator of how helpful doing practice math problems was. The whole point of practicing was to get myself familiarized with basic probability, percentages, etc. again. The test consisted of 10 business word problems and 2 essay questions.
I just got called in for an on-site interview so I'm guessing I did alright.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Cincinnati, OH (took 4+ weeks)
I got the initial interview through my university and then was asked to interview at the location in Cincinnati, OH. Before advancing, I had to take an 1 1/2 hour test that consisted of word problems and a writing portion. The on-site interviews were very intense, we met with a representative from each of the three areas: continuous, specialized, and custom. This position is very math intensive, and a lot of your time is spent crunching numbers and then relaying this information to clients. I really liked the company as a whole, but this wasn't an environment that I would be comfortable in. If you are interviewing make sure you have a lot of examples of using analytic skills and be prepared to answer problem solving questions on the fly.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
One-on-one interview. I was asked why I wanted to work for the company, about past experiences in quantitative and interpersonal skills. I was asked to give examples of using certain skills. I was also given a marketing scenario and asked to brainstorm ideas. Overall, the interview was painless and the interviewer was very pleasant. The next step is an on-site interview, which I was invited for and will have soon.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 3 days)
Great place to interview. I took the assessment test and i was extremely sick. But I felt the case study was easy but the math questions were kind of difficult. But when I took the test my eyes were watering and I kept on sneezing throughout the 90mins. So hopefully I get the job!!

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Stamford, CT (took a day)
It was great; my interviewer was friendly and made the entire process clear. She was very sociable and easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about the company.
I only received a phone interview and after I 'passed' it, I was administered an analytical assessment that was largely math-based and had two written components.
All-in-all, my communication with HR and my interviewer was flawless and prompt. It was a great experience.
