Pros

Real growth opportunities, especially when you get a broken thing to work with and make better If you get identified as high potential you get love and attention from HR Shifting towards technology focus and scaling better - but its slow Unlimited vacation and WFH culture - both endorsed by my team not sure about others

Cons

Senior management: no one agrees on what priorities are which was only made worse by recent layoffs. Health benefits are mid-range Slow to change, its too big for its own good

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.
