Technical Behavioral
It was a pretty straightforward 2-round process. The first round was with the director of accounting, and the second was with the SDL of RTR. I got a call from HR about 4-5 days later. The offer letter was all set, but it also mentioned a shift allowance, which is a thing because many people at NIQ work different shifts (EMEA, APAC, GRC, etc.), meaning different timings each day and thus different pay.

Group Behavioral
The interview process for a Data Operations Analyst involves two main stages. First, an HR-led group discussion (GD) round takes place. Candidates who successfully clear this initial stage become eligible for the subsequent Manager round. Passing the Manager round results in selection for the role. This is the complete process at nielseniq.

Behavioral Technical Coding
So, the interview process involved 3 rounds. It started with a basic HR screening. Then, there was a technical round where they checked my skills in Excel, SQL, and data quality. The last round was with the manager, and it was about scenarios, like dealing with missing data, super tight deadlines, and product coding. The interviewers were really nice, and the whole thing was pretty smooth. It all happened within about a week.

Behavioral Technical Group
English Communication matters the most, if you are not good then improve it before appearing this interview. There were Four rounds. 1) Resume Shortlisting - Thanks for the HR for selecting me from the crowd. 2) Aptitude - It was easy for me since I have practiced and have given various tests. 3) GD - Relatively easy because only 25% people in my group were talking and topic was decided among the group itself. 4) Interview - Again Basic fresher questions, same as the other glassdoor review posts.
