I interviewed at Nielsen (Evanston, IL) in Jul 2013
Interview
4 round in total. Phone interview with HR, basic behavior questions. Then online test, which is extremely challenging. Third round is still phone interview but with a director. Both behavior and technical questions were asked. Last round would be in their office. I am still waiting for the last round. On general, the interviewers are all very nice.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Nielsen (Bangkok) in Aug 2011
Interview
Manager that did the first interview was very arrogant about himself and the company. Second interview was much better due to the interviewer, was very open about the company and work environment.

Question 1
Nothing really difficult. Asked how I would determine whether or not to open a noodle shop in a given area in Bangkok
they said there would be a test (some calculation) and a group interview for the first round interview. But after i finished my test, they just sent us go without looking at the test, saying they will notify us on further interview, based on the test result.

Question 1
No group interview, though they said there were. I assumed they have decided when I was doing the test.
