Pros

The employees are very friendly. It’s a clean, up to date, modern office. The benefits are VERY attractive if you work full time. Very flexible. Most positions have a way to work from home some days or to work flexible hours. My position was as a full time temp, and initially I was able to do that, but as I was pregnant, and started having complications, I had trouble staying full time. The employees were very supportive and accommodating while I was there.

Cons

It’s fast paced, so if you’re not up to the challenge, this is not for you. My position was full time temporary, and when the project I was assigned for ended, they asked me to come back for part 2, and as I was pregnant and was having complications, I asked to come back part time, which they agreed to. Part 2 was initially supposed to start about 2 weeks from the time part 1 ended, they just had to hire more people for it. Weeks passed, and I was still promised the job. I kept contacting them and they kept saying that it was still on, they just hadn’t started interviews yet, then they finally started interviews, but hadn’t found their people yet, months passed, still nothing. I ended up having to find another job in the meantime because time was running out until my due date, and I didn’t want to start somewhere too close to it. Finished part 1 the last week of January 2017, was supposed to start part 2 in February 2017, due date June 2017. it’s been almost a year now, and they still haven’t contacted me. If they had a concern or changed their mind, I would have rather they told me, instead of promising the job to me and then standing me up. People have bills to pay and people they need to care for.

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.
