I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2010
Interview
I only rated the process difficult because of the assessment. The hiring process is very structured, phone, assessment, goup interviews and a verdict. I took the asessment recently and it was much harder than expected. The test would have been much easier if I would have anticipated a difficult test however, I went into the test thinking it couldnt be too hard, wrong. Practice probability, breakeven points and profitability along with time management and reading comprehension. If you prepare well you should be ok. The recruiter opened up the phone interview by asking what I know about Nielsen. Seems like a great company to work for if given the opportunity.

Interview
I am waiting to take the analytical assessment test. Overall, very good experience with the HR dept and recruiters. Appointments were kept and I did not wait ling to hear back for setting up next steps. In fact, I heard back 10 minutes after my phone interview. Studying up a bit for the exam.
