Pros

You can make a lot of money. Flexible work schedule, opportunities to travel, company car, laptop, cell phone, printer. You meet a lot of people from all levels of the company. Nielsen is a well known brand.

Cons

Often incompetent management. If you are not a minority of some sort you will eventually not be treated as well. Advancement potential seems to all be a pet project. Success is often a moving target at this company. They say they want top performers however their system is built to keep everyone in the middle. Having been one of the top performers I see the socialist aspects of the company.

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.
