This was my second interview at Nielsen Singapore. Interviewed with Ms D and was told I can expect a case study question to be sent to my email after the interview. However, I did not receive the question and emailed HR but did not receive any reply. The first conjecture I have is that they decided not to proceed with my candidature without informing me explicitly. The second conjecture is that I did not proceed on due to the close relationship between my interviewer for this position and the interviewer for another position I applied before. I did not get the first position and the first interviewer might have influence the decision of the second interviewer. The general sense about the company is that it is a highly feminine environment.

In an already terrible job market, I have truly never had the misfortune of coming across a company and internal recruiter that had such a complete disregard for a candidate. I completed a detailed task and presentation, which I submitted well before the deadline. When I asked for feedback and a date for when my final interview would be scheduled, I was ghosted for over a week. I chased for feedback and an update, I received generic feedback and a rejection. Nielsen have a complete disregard for prospective candidates despite positioning themselves as a leader within the market research space that claims to 'value their people'. Save yourself from applying here anyways, their communication is poor and salaries ridiculously below even what constitutes a living wage.
