The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Nielsen in Nov 2010
Interview
Nielsen had posted a job posting on my university job board so I got the first-round interview from that. They asked me to allocate 2 hours for the interview, but be prepared for longer, especially if they're running late.
First I had a half-hour behavioral interview, which they sprinkled throughout with small case questions, like the Listerine question another reviewer had. I was a bit thrown off by them, so just be prepared to answer. I spent the next 1.5 hours taking an analytical assessment, which I prepared for by spending an hour practicing GMAT questions. I finished early, which I think is a good indicator of how helpful doing practice math problems was. The whole point of practicing was to get myself familiarized with basic probability, percentages, etc. again. The test consisted of 10 business word problems and 2 essay questions.
I just got called in for an on-site interview so I'm guessing I did alright.

Interview
Submitted resume, was contacted and had to take an hour long problem-solving test, then had one interview on-campus. Problem solving test was not too difficult, but was a little stressful. I was notified by my campus a week after taking the test that I had an interview on campus. The interview was about 45 min ling.

Interview
Had on-campus interview that was lengthy but didn't seem to dive into who the candidate actually was. Be ready for a lot of behavioral questions with a couple of strategic thinking thrown in there as well. It was easy and helpful that the person in the room was so friendly, but she had trouble acting like I wasn't just a number.
