Pros

Benefits are great (health insurance, etc), but that's where the pros end.

Cons

Will work you at times they told you originally you wouldnt have to work. Pay is setup so you can earn more the better your households perform. Unfortunately Nielsen doesn't give you any power to correct those situations, meaning you will earn MUCH less than expected. Equipment and software they use is horrible, causing malfunctions, causing you to earn less. Management will take advantage of you just to make their numbers look .1% better. Expectations are often unrealistic and unobtainable. One of their pillars is "Growth", however that only applies if it is a convenient situation for them.

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.
