      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Nielsen (Tampa, FL) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      Multiple rounds / multiple persons. Behavior based questions and we were able to do it all over the phone. HR contacts were very helpful in describing the benefits and working environment. All interviewers were experts in their field / area. Major locations across the US included Schaumburg, IL and Oldsmar, FL.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time where you faced a difficult deliverable with a challenging client? What did you do? What was the result?
      Answer question
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter that I had a previous relationship with. A couple of days later I was contacted and had a phone interview with the hiring manager. Two weeks later I interviewed in person. A day later I got an offer letter.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Coding & Architecture Interviews. Lots of questions on cloud architecture (eventual consistence, resilient systems, etc).
