Nielsen Associate Client Manager Interview Questions

I was set up for a 30 minute phone interview with a recruiter. It was a great conversation she told me about the company and let me ask questions. Very informative as well as casual. I was then setup with the team lead for the position for another phone interview. The phone interview were overall really great and helpful

I applied 12/27/2018 and was asked to take a neuroscience personality test( was actually pretty fun). 2 weeks later I was asked to do a phone interview with the recruiter. The next week I did 4 back to back 30 minute interviews at Nielsen to meet the team I'd potentially be on. 7 days later I received an offer.

First I started with a phone screen with the recruiter, general career background questions. Second, I had a 30 minute phone interview with the hiring manager. Third, I had 4 in person 30 minute interviews with colleagues for the position. A week or so went by and I reached out to the recruiter to see what the status of the position was because I had another offer. I was told I wasn’t moving forward in the process. Not sure how long it would have taken to find it out if I had not emailed, but I appreciated the quick response to my email.

Introducing yourself/ 3 questions/ check of questions already answered on line (authorized to work in the us, desired salary, background...)/ HR better explaining the job position and next steps of the process

Applied online via Nielsen website, a couple weeks later HR got in contact with me for an initial phone interview. Phone interview was standard - questions about current role, what do I know about CPG industry, why am I interested in this position & Nielsen etc. At end of phone interview was told to take the online assessment. The assessment was part math (similar to GMAT) and part behavioral. A couple weeks after that I was asked to have another phone interview w/ some members of the Nielsen team I was applying for. Had call w/ 2 members, asked more in depth questions about my resume, how I currently use data, etc. No gotcha questions, just seeing if I was a fit based on previous experience and interest in the role, ability to use data etc. A week or so later, was asked to come in for an in-person interview w/ 2 hiring managers + 2 members of onsite team. Shortly after, was asked to come in for final in-person interview to meet w/ the clients on-site. Total time from application to offer was close to 3 months.

Fairly straight forward. Interview with HR and then in person interviews with various members of the team. There was also a phone interview as well. Overall it wasn't too difficult of an interview process to get through

Poor process overall. First thing you should know, if you want to get hired there what they care about most is your desired starting salary. Don't say you're looking for >$70K or they won't interview you. They hired a former classmate of mine who performed far worse academically than me and had far less experience than me, but my classmate gave a really low (well below Glassdoor average) desired salary because of a high desire to live in a certain city and they hired my classmate but I had a hard time getting an interview. When they finally reached out to me they first tried to push me towards another position they were apparently having a hard time filling. Recruiters were very slow to respond if they responded at all, and seemed to not want to help me towards the position I applied for. Finally got a phone interview, but the process and lack of responsiveness took so long that I ended up withdrawing because I got another offer.

The interview process consisted of a phone interview with an HR person, a phone interview with the hiring manager, and finally a several hour long onsite discussion with several 45 minute long interviews with different team members. Additionally, the interview process required me to take a somewhat difficult aptitude test.

I had a phone interview and they flew me out for an in person interview afterwards. There were three interviews and a case study which were handled very professionally. All of the three structured interviews had mini case study components but were mainly critical incident questions (tell me about a time you had to .......?)

1) interviewed with HR manager- usual questions on previous experience 2) math test. Lots of open ended word problems and multiple choice questions. Fairly simple 3) interviewed with managers within the company and had to give a presentation to the group on whether or not I would recommend going into that category of business based on the information in the deck and asked how would I spend marketing money on promoting the product.
