Pros

6+Billion in revenue and tens of thousands of employees planetwide company. There is a lot of diversity in Nielsen depending on the position, and if you reach out a bit then there is plenty no matter what. This exists in the people as well as the management. They pay well and have an established corporate hierarchy and culture. There is a lot of outside activities available to employees and their Oldsmar campus is beautiful.

Cons

6+Billion in revenue and tens of thousands of employees planetwide company. You get out of it what you put into it.

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.
