I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen
Interview
I applied through my university's co-op portal. The process took a few weeks. I really enjoyed the interview as the interviewers were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in learning about my experiences. They also provided reasonable hints to help me answer the technical question. Two people interviewed me; one asked about past technical experience and the other asked me a technical question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The question was about counting characters in a string. It was quite straight forward but they also asked how to optimize it. Basic string manipulation, arrays and ASCII stuff.
