I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nielsen (Wilton, CT) in Jun 2012
Interview
Went to their office and was greeted by the receptionist, who told me to wait for a bit. Then I was led through the office into a room where I filled out a questionnaire. I was asked questions by two different people. I then was guided out. I didn't get the position, but primarily because I was originally told that this would be a qualitative research-type position when in fact it required more quantitative research and stat knowledge.
it was just regular interview process, asking about the past experience, interest in the field. Ask for excel skills. I interviewed for the technology department, so I was asked about my interest in technology and some related questions--trend technology
Was given a task and interview. Expect a brief based on a supplied dataset, then a presentation in person. Good process, straightforward, would recommend. Need to fill word limit to submit this review.
