I applied through university. I interviewed at Nielsen in Oct 2015
Interview
Spoke to one person who had just did her Early Career Talent internship the past summer. She had me go over my resume and then had a packet that she drew questions from and took notes from so I wouldn't be surprised if the questions are standardized across most interviews for this position. Asked me a few marketing strategy based questions and also asked about my experience in excel.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a group member and how you dealt with it? Would you market a product that attracts customers easily but doesn't taste good or market a product that tastes great but doesn't have many loyal customers? What is your experience thus far with excel?

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Markham, ON) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview process was quite pleasant. I applied though my school's career portal over Christmas break, heard back a few days later. I then received a phone screening call in January and was sent an initial assessment. After passing an email scheduling an interview was set up where I went in to Markham and spoke with the talent acquisition. About a week later, I received an email scheduling my interview with the hiring manager two weeks later. After an unsuccessful interview, I never heard back from then again until I followed up months later. The position had been filled by then.

Question 1
Mostly resume related questions. They really try to make as easy as they can for you to succeed. It felt like more of a conversation. One question in particular was how I would use my skills to assist a project.

Interview
Very pleasant and structured, some difficult questions. My resume wasn't exactly lined up for the job but the interviewer seemed to have interest in my perspective... didn't make it past the personality test. But the process was a college recruiting event, then to a simple meet and greet, then a 1:1 interview on campus the next day. There is a very quick turn around for this and I didn't have much time to prepare but passed the 1:1 and they sent out a logic and personality test.
