For university recruiting, you first take a skills test comprised of math and logic. This test is followed by a 1:1 interview the same day. After the first round interview, they bring you in for an office interview where you have an informal breakfast/lunch followed by three 1:1 interviews with different organization representatives. The day ends with a Q&A panel for the interviewee's benefit. The interview questions test your thought process and logic to make sure you are thorough in your work. People are very friendly and the atmosphere is very young.

I had a total of 5 interviews. The first 3 were over the phone, the 4th was in person with several individuals, and the 5th was over the phone with a senior member. I really enjoyed the interview process at Nielsen. I actually felt like the people I interviewed with wanted to get to KNOW ME as a person and not just my resume. They were very informative about the department and direction of the company. Unfortunately, I did not receive an offer even though I really wanted to. The only complaint I have is that I had to take several days off work as I was not able to step away at work to do my interviews. I wish they could've told me BEFORE the 5th interview that they were not going to move forward with me because I was left with only a couple days to use for interviews. The person in the 5th interview specifically told me they were not the decision maker and just wanted to interview me. So I felt that 5 interviews was not necessary.
