Pros

ACNielsen: Great working environment, colleagues are young and dynamic. great as a starting point in your career to collect experience in the marketing/market research sector. Perfect to get acquainted with the FMCG business and hands-on experience in the client management, improve presentation skills and learn about key account management.

Cons

The opportunities within the company depend on the country and the size of the department but in Austria you can reach the ceiling within some years. Right now the management tries to cut costs in any possible way and it might influence your work and relationship to clients. Some clients have, with the fast-changing management, a worse image of the company and might find it unstable, also with a high fluctuation among staff. Compensation is not satisfying compared to the performance and responsibilities they ask.

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.
