The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nielsen (Mumbai)
Interview
Applied and had three rounds of interviews in the next five working days followed by a SHL test (17 questions in 18 minutes, ran out of time). Interviews felt like they went but apparently rejected because of the test. If that's the real reason, a time bound test with barely a minute per question is a ridiculous way to gauge candidates. HR was helpful and responsive during the process but only communicated the rejection a month later, after I followed up.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Nielsen
Interview
Went through three rounds of interviews with positive feedback and then was completely ghosted. I had to follow up multiple times to get any updates then decided to withdraw my application after several weeks of having no concrete updates or movement. One of the worst interview experiences I've had in my career.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (London, England) in Aug 2023
Interview
The interview was pretty standard for the industry. Typical questions involved previous role and projects. Some technical questions but mainly focussed on projects and delivery. The role was quite vague and when asked about this I didn't get much more specifics
