I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nielsen (New York, NY) in May 2016
Interview
They found my resume on a job site, then they contacted me. They told me about the analyst internship and that I may be a good fit. There was a total of 2 phone calls. The first one was with someone from HR. She just wanted to get a better feel of who I was; very general. After that I was contacted to set up the second phone call, but with the people who would be my managers. They were great. We mainly spoke about my resume and experience.
A recruiter started with a quick phone chat to get to know ,e better. Asked about my background, experience, and why I'm interested in the role. Got a few behavioral questions to see if my values aligned with Nielsen’s culture.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Nielsen (Kuala Lumpur)
Interview
It very easy. Basic question are asked. They ask what did I work as in previous company and how I can contribute to current role. Ask why I want to join the company.
