Pros

This place is give you a good easy start to your career. It's good to get this name on your resume if you plan on staying in this industry. It does open up doors for you.

Cons

They're trying to adopt a model from GE..Open, simply and integrated but, It's doesn't work. They are basically trying to get all the long tenure people to quit so they can hire cheaper labor in FL. If you like the very corporate/political type of environment then this the place for you. Employees are highly disrespected and underpaid. Everyday people come into their office and feel like they are not wanted their.

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.
