Interview
There was an SAT like test. First round was with one person. Second round was a full day at the office with three people from various parts of the organization. There was a "peer" interview that occurred during lunch. The majority of it was behavioral based. It felt like they were looking for people to fit into their company culture. If you passed the test, it was assumed you had the skills to do the job.

Interview
Submitted application online on Nielsen career website. Received an email to set up a phone interview. Felt the interview went well and was told they would need to talk to and exchange notes with the rest of the team to know how to proceed next. Was told regardless of whether or not I would continue to the next round, I would receive an email by the end of the week on my status. Never received an email on my application status or any response to a follow-up email I sent.
