I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2010
Interview
Consisted of an online application, personality test, analytical test. The 90 min analytical test consisting mostly of BE analysis and probability questions. Time is an issue if you dont know these things backwards and forwards. I had the same two long answer questions described on the tread. I only give a negative because it felt like a waste of time. I saw several people in the office taking the same test so it makes me wonder how many people were being evaluated for the position. I left two questions blank due to time constraints.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen in Oct 2019
Interview
The first step was a phone screen with standard questions, and one situational question about how you would go about marketing a product. The second interview was over Skype with 3 interviewers who asked similar questions to the phone screen with more short case study type questions. The final interview was at the Nielsen offices and took a full day with over 5 interviews, mostly asking the same questions. During this day there was also a skills test and a lunch with a Q&A panel.
