I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
The process took a little over 5 weeks from from the info session to the offer. I took an online test, participated in a meet and greet with associates night, and had 1 round of on campus interviews. The interview was 75% experience-based questions and 25% (% breakdown based on time spent) technical marketing/"case" questions. I don't like calling it a case because they were quite general, just giving you an opportunity to throw out important knowledge you could bring to the table.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nielsen
Interview
Had to apply online through university's career portal, one day after applying I had to take an online assessment (mix of logic questions and mathematic questions) took about an hour. Then a day later found out I was selected for on-campus interview some time the week after. Originally scheduled for 45 minutes long, but got a call the day before interview pushing all interviews (Nielsen came to campus and was going to interview around 10 ppl) back two hours and shortened interviews to 30 minutes. General questions regarding my resume, a time I had to deal with conflict, etc.

The interview process was fairly straightforward. I submitted an application and was followed up with a call from HR that was basically a get to know me call, then I scheduled a video interview. This process took about 2 weeks all together.
