Pros
Very interesting and challenging business to learn. The various product offerings by Nielsen are exciting. The business people are very respected and great to work with. They are all very high caliber folks and highly qualified. It was a pleasure working with them. They have a great work life balance with work from home options available.
Cons
The IT part of the company is very mediocre. This stems from the fact that this is a monopoly and has very little completion, and hence breeds mediocrity. There is very little career growth and people are mostly stuck in the position they are hired as. There is very little focus in developing people and upward movement. Salaries rarely change/increase. If you are satisfied with the status qua with no changes at all - this is the company that you should work for. Senior Management is not expected to reviewed by their direct reports. If you happen to be unhappy with your manager, you have no recompense.
