Question 1
How many slices of pizza are consumed by the student body in one semester?
I applied online. I interviewed at Nielsen (New York, NY) in May 2021
Interview
I applied online and was first interviewed with a Recruiter. Subsequently, I was emailed a link for a technical assessment for which 115 minutes were allocated. A day or two later I was invited to interview with several managers and a few days later was invited for a final panel interview. Everything progressed quickly and everyone was professional. The internship projects seemed super interesting and aligned with my background. That said, after the panel interview, I never heard back from anyone. I cannot understand how a company believes its OK to not get back to a candidate after completing an assessment of close to 2 hours and multiple interviews. An automated rejection letter doesn't take much effort and leaves a better impression than being ghosted.

Interview
The recruiters came to campus and I interviewed with a manager and a couple working analysts. There was suppose to be two interviews each 45 minutes. They somehow had issues with scheduling and my interview started later than expected. I had another appointment later so I was only able to stay for one interview.
