I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Cairo, Cairo Governorate) in Nov 2011
Interview
After submitting my resume, I first received a phone call from a recruiter who offered me an invitation to sit in for an assessment test the following day. The test was comprised of about 15-20 questions on fairly straight forward business case problems. They tested simple quantitative skills and business terminology. They also included a question which tested language and communication proficiency. I unfortunately did not pass this test but received constructive feedback from the recruiter on how to improve.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Essay question on a firm's current SWOT/ Situation Analysis and my recommendations for it moving forward.
A recruiter started with a quick phone chat to get to know ,e better. Asked about my background, experience, and why I'm interested in the role. Got a few behavioral questions to see if my values aligned with Nielsen’s culture.
An interview followed by an in person case study. The process was fairly straight forward but the case is not easy if you are not an analytical person to begin with.
I applied online. I interviewed at Nielsen (Kuala Lumpur)
Interview
It very easy. Basic question are asked. They ask what did I work as in previous company and how I can contribute to current role. Ask why I want to join the company.
