I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Nielsen (New York, NY)
Interview
I did the first round of interviews with Nielsen for the Professional Services Analytics Experience. Interview lasted around 45 minutes. Went through my resume, then asked some behavioral questions. It ended with some hypothetical questions related to the different categories of the program. The interviewers were very nice. I heard back within two weeks, and I didn't get to the second round.

Interview
Spoke to one person who had just did her Early Career Talent internship the past summer. She had me go over my resume and then had a packet that she drew questions from and took notes from so I wouldn't be surprised if the questions are standardized across most interviews for this position. Asked me a few marketing strategy based questions and also asked about my experience in excel.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a group member and how you dealt with it? Would you market a product that attracts customers easily but doesn't taste good or market a product that tastes great but doesn't have many loyal customers? What is your experience thus far with excel?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (South San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Interviewed through university recruiting and it was one 45 minute behavioral interview with a few "client situation" interviews that were kind of like mini case questions. Overall very casual and easy going, they definitely are looking for candidates with the right fit in round one. Be yourself and have behavioral examples.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you presented complex information. Tell me about your previous experiences. A potential client wants to spend more money on advertising revenue but data shows that extra spend on ads doesn't improve sales, how would you go about it?
