Pros

They do allow telecommuting and compensation is fair but really there is very little good to say about this company anymore. if the economy was better I think most the employees would have quit.

Cons

Nielsen is run by TCS and nobody dares stand up to TCS due to Habib. TCS is a very unethical outsourcing Indian company. Their employees are poorly educated and have demonstrated repeatedly they cannot do the work. Nielsen mandates that over 50% of the work force be TCS contractors. Nielsen's quality has greatly suffered and you will work overtime to make up for TCS's inadequacies. Don't look to Neilsen for any long term employment. Unless you are Indian.

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.
