Pros

I have been working in Nielsen for over 15+ years. It's a big organization with several pillars. But it's truly a connected organization. I have been part of several groups and moved from one role to another and gained an amazing experience. The leaders are very open and encourage you to take leads and help to grow fast.

Cons

Nothing much I can think off. When the Business is not going well, the leaders panic and start laying-off. Rather than always look for great talent outside, they should also look for options inside.

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.
