I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nielsen (Mumbai) in Jan 2014
Interview
Apti, 3 rounds of interview
Apti was basic. Interview was based on logical reasoning and market research basics.
The process took a whole day. The joining was pretty late.
I was selected with 3 other people from about 152 who applied for apti.
Apti has 3 sections - English, LR, Quants. Very simple
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.
