I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Cincinnati, OH) in May 2010
Interview
The first interaction is by E-mail, they ask for your resume and any cover letters and ask you to apply online so that they have a digital copy of all media that you wish to submit. Then depending on where you are located and where they intend to place you, you have a basic phone interview with behavioral questions and questions related to your education and work experience. The next step is to take a skills assessment to gauge your mathematical and analytical abilities. Assuming you are able to pass that, you will be asked to make an on-site appearance for a series of interviews consisting of three 45 minute interviews with individuals from each of the analyst departments. Depending on how well your interviews go, you will hopefully receive a job offer.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Markham, ON) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview process was quite pleasant. I applied though my school's career portal over Christmas break, heard back a few days later. I then received a phone screening call in January and was sent an initial assessment. After passing an email scheduling an interview was set up where I went in to Markham and spoke with the talent acquisition. About a week later, I received an email scheduling my interview with the hiring manager two weeks later. After an unsuccessful interview, I never heard back from then again until I followed up months later. The position had been filled by then.

Question 1
Mostly resume related questions. They really try to make as easy as they can for you to succeed. It felt like more of a conversation. One question in particular was how I would use my skills to assist a project.

Interview
Very pleasant and structured, some difficult questions. My resume wasn't exactly lined up for the job but the interviewer seemed to have interest in my perspective... didn't make it past the personality test. But the process was a college recruiting event, then to a simple meet and greet, then a 1:1 interview on campus the next day. There is a very quick turn around for this and I didn't have much time to prepare but passed the 1:1 and they sent out a logic and personality test.
