I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2011
Interview
I was contacted within a month of receiving the online application for a screening interview, followed within a week by a quantitative assessment, and another week for an in-person interview. Overall, the process was very smooth and well-managed. The quantitative assessment, if you've done your research and know what to expect, is very easy, and everyone I encountered was super friendly and very easy to talk to! Be sure to know exactly where you lie as far as what skills are expected of you. I don't think they necessarily need a superstar, but someone who knows what skills they may need to pick up on the job.

Question 1
I was asked a quantitative question after I said my Excel skills were above average. That was a mistake.
