      Low pay, but interesting work and people

      Pros

      The hours worked well for me, since I started at 2 pm and worked until finished. The work was interesting and the people very diverse. Job involved writing questions about UK programming so it was a change from US TV. The editors were always positive in their critiques and there was opportunity to advance if you could work the hours.

      Cons

      The pay was low. At times if we were short-staffed, there was a high volume and a short- turnaround time, but since we were hourly we were paid for it. There was no real opportunity to hold a job in regular working hours and little chance for full-time work. No benefits for part-time work.

      Pros

      Very stable environment to work, if you don't have any goals to grow in career. You can enjoy your work only if you like to work with age old technologies.

      Cons

      - No work life balance - Very aggressive deadlines which can burn you out within on time - Management don't understand technology and it's limitations.

      Great place for experience

      Pros

      A great place to start your career. There are great opportunities to work with advanced tools that can answer some of the business questions of the world's leading companies. This experience is highly valued in the marketplace and lead to future opportunities.

      Cons

      The organization does a very poor job of recognizing talent and promoting leading performers. The promotion process seems arbitrary. Employees often experience more teamwork with clients than within the Nielsen organization. There is often too much emphasis on new processes irrespective of whether or not those processes create efficiency. Compensation is average for marketing research organizations, substandard compared to CPG manufacturers.
