Pros

- Access to big name clients - Autonomy - Role can be highly visible internally as you engage with many stakeholders - Work life balance

Cons

- Nielsen is wildly underprepared for the forthcoming industry changes despite the picture everyone tries to paint internally. That coupled with constantly methodology updates is going to make the future of several flagship digital products murky - Office politics take up more time than your actual job. You will spend time fighting uphill battles you will never win - I have been trying unsuccessfully to get promoted for almost two years despite many empty promises and I've never had a proper review while at Nielsen. Don't seem to care much about employees' professional growth. - Generally a slow moving, lackadasical culture which is incredibly demotivating for sellers. Constantly fighting with support and product teams for client engagement and support to no avail. - I've gotten one 3% raise in the almost two years I worked at Nielsen

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.
