I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Evanston, IL) in Oct 2018
Interview
The interview was pretty straightforward, similar to a case interview for a consulting position. There were 3 cases in a row and they got harder as they progressed. I didn't think the interviewers were very friendly and they were silent for most of the time when they weren't asking questions making the process very uncomfortable - they took a few months to get back to me to let me I didn't get the position.

Question 1
Finding the largest substring with non-repeating characters.
it started with a phone interview, then an assesment with the recruiter and a manager after which a final interview would decide whether the role I applied for is given to me. All in all a pleasent experience
