      Great name for your resume once you move on... and you will move on.

      Pros

      Work from home culture Flex scheduling Great name for your resume

      Cons

      Lay-offs constantly Transformation of the company not fast enough to keep pace with how their main sources of revenue are being disrupted. Horrible force ranking system that was a failure at GE combined with virtuous “inclusive” and non biased HR and leadership.

      Its an old company in the 21st centuary

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Real growth opportunities, especially when you get a broken thing to work with and make better If you get identified as high potential you get love and attention from HR Shifting towards technology focus and scaling better - but its slow Unlimited vacation and WFH culture - both endorsed by my team not sure about others

      Cons

      Senior management: no one agrees on what priorities are which was only made worse by recent layoffs. Health benefits are mid-range Slow to change, its too big for its own good

      Pros

      Good benefits. Good PTO.

      Cons

      Good Company to work with overall, but you want to consistently keep moving up and unfortunately in some cases if you're good at what you do they want to keep you where you are.

      There is always room for improvement and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We have many learning and development opportunities, including our most recent Grow with Us program, side projects and mentoring programs. We had many associates across Field Operations grow in their careers via promotions and lateral moves throughout 2018; many of our managers, trainers and operations leaders started in frontline roles. At Nielsen, we believe that you own your career growth and development and we make every effort to support individual aspirations.
