Pros

The people at Nielsen are great. They have a fabulous culture and really stress work life balance for people in higher up positions. Nielsen also values the idea of professional development. Overall I would recommend Nielsen as a company to work for.

Cons

My particular position I took on was not what I had signed up to do. I knew the job would be a sales job and that it would be a field position as well. However, it was never explained to me that my job would put me in dangerous situations. The bad neighborhoods, the terrible weather and the higher up management requiring us to work weekends. This job is sold as the best work-life balance opportunity, but it's honestly grueling. It's a really hard position to be in if you have a masters degree. People degrade you at the door and managers also degrade you.

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.
