Pros
Great direct manager and co-workers. Flexible work hours. Learned a lot about consumer behavior research and ratings data in my time with Nielsen.
Cons
Upper management is disconnected from client needs and doesn't take the time to learn the ins and outs of their business. This causes them to push sales people to sell in non-customer focused ways. Very little value placed on customer relationships. Everything is about the bottom line and how the company did that week, month or quarter. Strange compensation plan for sales people. There is no commission just an arbitrary bonus at the end of the year. Not a great way to motivate a sales person! Benefits are very expensive for a company this size. Work life balance is incredibly challenging as there is not a lot of back up staff in many divisions. I haven't been able to take one vacation where I have not been checking and responding to emails or on conference calls.
