Pros

First class training, as such Nielsen is excellent for people new to market research.

Cons

High staff turnover driven by relatively low pay vs the industry. Coupling this with a highly politicized culture results in low company loyalty. low to zero recruitment means you are typically covering at least two people’s workload, which has a direct impact on your work/life balance.

Pros

- Intense Learning experience working with the biggest players in the FMCG market - Large company with a lot of opportunities to move internally worldwide - Though leadership when it comes to research and data analysis methodologies - Very good exit opportunities

Cons

- Big and bureaucratic - Processes divided into countless small departments making the work look some times like on an assembly line and can be repetitive and boring. - Unpredictable and fluctuating workload, with weeks of 14 hours per day followed by weeks of very slow work - Very high erosion rate due to low salaries and weak culture
