Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen.
Interview
Applied online but got a call back because of an internal referral and me proactively reaching out to the hiring manager. The whole process from initial conversation to an offer being made was a little over a month and a half.
Initial round was a 30 minute phone interview with the hiring manager followed by an jn-person/phone with associates and a Sr. VP.
Overall process was informative and very organic.
Interview questions asked we're pretty standard.Interview Questions
