Great place to learn, but not such a great place to grow, especially if you're in the India office - Client Service Manager Nielsen Employee Review

The motto of Nielsen India is Be 100%, Grow 100%. While there are enough opportunities to Be 100%, unfortunately, growth is entirely dependent on personal rapport with the manager and which clique a person belongs to and has got nothing to do with performance. Also, the system of rating employees is unfair as it does not allow the manager to give the highest rating to more than one person, which is not fair to some of the team members if you take into account that one manager may be managing multiple teams which may not be comparable. One other issue is that there is no competency mapping done at any stage - so there are many cases where fishes are asked to climb trees and good resources are lost because the organization didn't give them a role that matched their competency, despite the availability of such roles.
