      Pros

      Company car and gas. Work from home. Flexable schedule as long as you make numbers. Really good direct supervisors.

      Cons

      Salary is very low, even though you receive a car and free gas. Travel can be extensive sometimes. Not enough work load, so it's difficult to make bonuses

      Pros

      You can work from home without fuss, decent benefits but health insurance is pricey, some nice coworkers and in theory the ability to rotate teams.

      Cons

      I came into a highly disfunctional group comprised of an acquired company (Harris Interactive). it's difficult for us to integrate and really network with the actual Nielsen employees in the traditional divisions who don't do anything similar to the custom survey work we do. Our revenue has been falling and just this week they announced to us that they laid off three top personnel as well as a junior employee who I know is pregnant. the top-down management style in this group is rigid and the directors will all throw anyone under the bus to make themselves look better. It's a toxic atmosphere where the name of the game is to cover your butt and find someone to blame. Project directors and consultants make demands without regard for analyst's workloads which creates a lot of unnecessary stress those of us junior staff who often work on 4-6 projects at once.

      Pros

      6+Billion in revenue and tens of thousands of employees planetwide company. There is a lot of diversity in Nielsen depending on the position, and if you reach out a bit then there is plenty no matter what. This exists in the people as well as the management. They pay well and have an established corporate hierarchy and culture. There is a lot of outside activities available to employees and their Oldsmar campus is beautiful.

      Cons

      6+Billion in revenue and tens of thousands of employees planetwide company. You get out of it what you put into it.
