Pros

Middle management and peers are great people Good training resources and benefits

Cons

CEO and all other upper management personal have no idea what they are doing No job security, there are constant redundancies while the CEO continues to take his bonuses alongside others who don't deserve it One minute they're Private, then Public then Private. Now under the thumb of Eliot Management Group Not long until company goes under entirely Terrible communication to employees and a distinct lack of direction HR stressed and uncaring Technical teams sometimes lack client communication skills Poor product choices, ie. Making decisions and investments that only benefit the US but then rolling it out to other countries with little consideration for how other countries operate, causes misstep after misstep and a lot of wasted money that could have been used to save jobs of good people

Pros

Absolutley nothing. Which is a tragedy, because Nielsen was once an absolutely great place to work. I wanted to retire here. The culture used to be great, and I really loved being a part of this place. I loved my team, my management, and the people. Then along came the current CEO who is the classic example of a person who knows the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. He took over and ran the company full speed ahead in to the iceberg. And to try and save the sinking ship, he laid off literally thousands of highly experienced, highly trained, and highly engaged people to replace them with fresh overseas hires who know nothing about the company and expect them to be trained from the ground up to replace literally centuries of collective expererience and client relations. It's a disaster. This CEO shouldn't be trusted to run a lemonade stand.

Cons

Everything. Pay, job security, culture, management. Nothing is good here anymore. Don't take a job here unless you are truly desperate. And even then, it should only be as a stop-gap until you can find something else.
