Pros

Nielsen offers remote work but how often depends upon who you report to

Cons

Nielsen has steadily laid off employees since 2006 with the pace picking up since the latest acquisition by private equity. Currently, I am told, the layoffs occur every payday. Morale is habitually low. While there are many wonderful people to work with, there are others who focus on protecting their knowledge because, as you might expect, they're hoping to keep their jobs by being the only one who knows how to do their work. Who is let go seems to be determined by someone way beyond the immediate supervisor--someone who doesn't know the value of business knowledge and thinks employees are plug-and-play devices.

Pros

- good company to have on your resume - super flexible work schedule

Cons

- private equity has really negatively impacted the company. lots of layoffs and uncertainty, and while I try to remain positive, this has definitely impacted my career growth here - have been here nearly 3 years and only received one (very small) raise and no promotion despite earning top marks in my annual review
