I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nielsen (Gainesville, FL) in Sep 2017
Interview
The first round was great and easy but the second round was more behavioral than I expected. I was called by a manager and it sounded like there may have been more people in the conference room. The questions weren’t hard but I wasn’t too prepared for them.
