Pros

Low stress; really nice people and a collaborative environment; managers generally seem concerned about employees' well-being and check in on a regular basis; nice office building; great wellness program and fun company events, even during work hours sometimes; pretty good benefits package.

Cons

It's a very large corporation; HR team is not very competent and is slow to respond if you don't have an HR rep in your office (sounds strange, but the LA office doesn't have one); Pay is low; At the end of the day, with any billion dollar business, it's about the money...they may outsource your job to save a dollar.

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.
