      Intern Interview

      Dec 28, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen

      Interview

      Interviewed through on-campus recruitment. After resume drop, received an invitation to take an online assessment. Upon completing the assessment, completed phone screening with HR. The interviewer was very nice, but seemed to be reading questions off a piece of paper. Despite following up after the interview, received no further communication from program staff.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Behavioral questions. Was then asked what division would you prefer to work in, followed with a division-specific mini-case study.

      Thank you very much for your feedback. I sincerely apologize you never heard back from anyone on our team. This does not reflect the positive candidate experience we strive to provide to everyone. I wish you all the best in finding a great internship experience and invite you to consider other opportunities at Nielsen in the future.

      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Nielsen (New York, NY) in May 2021

      Interview

      I applied online and was first interviewed with a Recruiter. Subsequently, I was emailed a link for a technical assessment for which 115 minutes were allocated. A day or two later I was invited to interview with several managers and a few days later was invited for a final panel interview. Everything progressed quickly and everyone was professional. The internship projects seemed super interesting and aligned with my background. That said, after the panel interview, I never heard back from anyone. I cannot understand how a company believes its OK to not get back to a candidate after completing an assessment of close to 2 hours and multiple interviews. An automated rejection letter doesn't take much effort and leaves a better impression than being ghosted.

      Anonymous employee
      Provo, UT
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Nielsen (Provo, UT) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      The recruiters came to campus and I interviewed with a manager and a couple working analysts. There was suppose to be two interviews each 45 minutes. They somehow had issues with scheduling and my interview started later than expected. I had another appointment later so I was only able to stay for one interview.
