Colloquio
I've had an overall fantastic experience with Nielsen. My process started with on-campus recruiting. They came to my school's career fair; I went up to the Nielsen booth and, after being screened with questions about GPA and general information, spoke with multiple leaders there. I was invited to interview the next day, as well as a mixer that night. I had two 50-minute interviews. Both were behavioral questions, but not a typical leadership interview. Very conversational and flowed effortlessly. The interviewers were very personable and overall awesome people. About a week later, I was contacted by a recruiter and told that I was invited to the invitational in Tampa for the ELP Operations position. I just went through that invitational. It was fantastic; it included a nice dinner and face time with company leaders (there was a keynote from one of the VPs!), a Hilton hotel stay, delicious meals and swag bags, and panels from past ELP associates. It was very well-organized. The first day was a relaxing welcome. The second day was three interviews, starting at 8 AM: a team challenge, a leadership interview, and a case study interview.

Domanda 1
On-campus interviews:
- Tell me about a time you failed either personally or professionally.
- Tell me about a time when you had to change your approach to make something more efficient.
- Tell me about an initiative you started or a time you took charge.
- Tell me about a time you challenged a process.
Team challenge:
- We were emailed two articles to look over relating to TV ratings and the importance of panels before the invitational. You were broken into teams of people in your track (for me, Operations) and given a challenge to come up with solutions for how to make Nielsen's "TV family" data more reliable and high-quality while not increasing company costs. I had a great team. We came up with multiple solutions during about an hour period and then presented on them to Nielsen leaders. It was casual.
Leadership Interview:
- This was not what I expected. It was entirely behavioral and seemed very redundant, almost like they were testing your endurance or ability to answer very similar questions with different examples. The questions all started with "Tell me about a time when..." and varied slightly. I did not have the best experience with this interview because candidates were all being interviewed in the same big room, separated by curtains, and I was next to a very loud guy. I could barely hear myself think with him next to me, so that threw me off. That same concern was voiced by multiple candidates.
Case study interview:
- Two days before the invitational, we were emailed a case study of a program that Nielsen uses for internal Operations that digitizes and standardizes work activities across the world. It's a pretty dense packet that described the features and functions of this program. The interview was mainly to ask what you'd change about the program and what challenges you think the developers ran into while they created it. There were no truly technical questions. Just hypothetical situations that required you to dip into technical knowledge and pose solutions.

Behavioral Based Interview that took place on my college campus, we were in a large union room with multiple other interviews going on at once, so you had to make sure to pay attention to your interview and try and block out the background noise, it also made it more relaxed though

Called in for a 1-hour onsite interview at their manhattan offices. Brought through the office with another interviewee, after which we went into separate rooms for the actual interview. Afterwards, we sat down with someone in the program to talk next steps.

In person interview, 2 on 1. Asked pretty typical interview questions, as well as a system design question on a piece of paper. The second phase is a group setting with tasks given to the groups meant to test your critical thinking, along with one on one interviews during a multi day process.
