Behavioral Technical Case

So the process started with an aptitude test, then there were two rounds of interviews. First, I spoke with the manager, and then with a director. The interviews were mostly focused on my CV and previous experience, with a few questions on domain knowledge.

Case Behavioral

It was an easy process. You need to prepare a bit for the case study. The interview is designed to go through the case study round. There was just one interview round with a panel. They also asked some behavioral questions and questions about your past experience.

Behavioral Presentation Technical

I applied for an entry-level Business Analyst role and went through a few stages. First, there was an HR screening, which I passed. Then, the company emailed me asking for a data analysis and a presentation. I put a lot of effort into preparing a presentation. After that, I had an interview with the managers, which lasted about an hour. I presented my case, covering 5 parts. They said I got one part wrong, specifically about "numeric and weighted distribution," which were new terms to me and I had to research them online as I wasn't given any prior info. Overall, I felt I did a good job. The managers mentioned that if I didn't hear back via email, it meant I was rejected. I never heard from them again, which I found disrespectful and inappropriate. They didn't provide any reasons for the rejection or any feedback after the interview, and their comments during the interview were very limited. I felt like I wasted my time. They didn't train me on data analysis or provide any prior experience for it, and I found it unfair to be asked to do data analysis and a presentation as a recent graduate with no experience, especially for an entry-level position. I was very disappointed and won't apply to Nielsen IQ in Turkey again, but I might consider other countries' branches.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • HR asked me about my background, education, and experience in the first interview.
  • In the second interview with managers, I was asked to do a presentation and answer questions about presenting the case.
