I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (San Jose, San Jose) in Apr 2013
Interview
First, recrutiter process with skills review and personality quiz. After that, programming skills test and personal interview at Nielsen. At the end, interview with leader for checking my knowledge about the job and skills I've that can be usefull for the job.
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.
