I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen in Apr 2016
Interview
Applied online. Two weeks later, I received an email requesting a phone interview in the next two days. The interviewer called me 20 minutes late on our agreed upon date and time. She asked me basic questions about my resume and asked a few logic questions. At the end of the interview, she asked what my availability for an in-person interview was and also emailed a link to take an aptitude test. You have 7 days to complete the test. It is a series of problem solving questions and you have 3 minutes to read and answer them. I took the test and sent an email to the recruiter to make sure that it was received, but never got a response back. About two weeks after I submitted the test, I got a rejection email.

An interview followed by an in person case study. The process was fairly straight forward but the case is not easy if you are not an analytical person to begin with.
