Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at Nielsen
Met for interview in a hotel conference room as they are not local to my area. Interviewer did not make me feel comfortable or interested in position. Phone screenings went well ahead of time. Overall not the right fit for myself or company.
- Tell me more about yourself.

I was screened by the HR girl on the phone then I moved on to talk with 2 other people. One was the local head of the department of the role and the other one was a different department head located in London. The interview was a video call and they asked basic interview questions. I was told they were going to do a second interview but they changed their minds and decided just by the first. I was kept informed until the time I was rejected.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen
The direction of interviews was confusing. Was told second interview would be just to get the perspective of an employee who was more new to a remote position to answer some questions, but it was a formal interview which caused some confusion on my end as a candidate. recruiter contact took weeks to follow up.
- was asked what my project management style was, for a position that did not manage projects. very off-putting
