I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Tampa, FL) in Apr 2015
Interview
Had a less traditional interview process since I was a direct hire from one of the VPs rather than through HR. Had him contact me by email and set up a phone screening with one of the managers on his team. After phone screen, had a short informal interview on USF campus with the current intern in that position. After this short interview, was invited to a one on one with the VP himself. Was offered the position on the spot.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nielsen (Tallahassee, FL)
Interview
One interview. A few behavioral questional and critical thinking questions. The interview was about 45 minutes. They truly try to make sure that you are a good fit for the company. Overall, they only hire smart people because they only wnat quality in the company, which is very different.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
Mine was unlike the usual campus recruitment process. I received an email from HR asking me to apply online, and the next day got an email asking if I was available for a phone interview. Two weeks after my phone interview with my manager, I was offered the position.
