Pros
-You learn tons, but most skills are not transferable -Good diversity of clients in CPG to keep things interesting -Nielsen has good reputation in the business world, good add to the resume
Cons
-Senior management is mediocre. For example, attrition rates are pretty high, and promos are STILL frozen (after 15 months). People are not at the forefront of Nielsen -Lack of resources to do your job due to systemic failures. It can lead to very stressful circumstances as it feels like a project can be on the heads of the Analyst with minimal support from managers + leaders -Development of new excel workbooks are venerated as product innovation. This speaks for itself and echoes the general direction of the company of patching holes rather than truly reinventing and innovating -Crazy work hours and no regard for work-life balance. The expectation is that you will work as long as it takes to get the job done, even if it's on your vacation days
