Pros

The flexibility(Lots of working from home) Great place to learn and understand CPG industry. Great name on the resume

Cons

Tons and Tons of politics that goes on behind the scenes Declining business and are really struggling to keep their heads above the water Constant re-organizations that impact associates. Most managers are not good managers. Poor pay. Promotions are all based on favorism and hard work is not rewarded. Some teams do not to appreciate diversity. No defined career path.

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.
