      Meritocracy Rules!

      Executive director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is the name that attracted me to Nielsen and since then I have found it to be a great place to work in - passionate people, great products, right mix of structure and ambiguity, flexibility to do your own thing, good bosses etc. In short great place for those needing an adrenalin rush!

      Cons

      Need to break down silos and get things done. No free lunch!

      No life, just work. Little integrity of the higher management.

      Operations manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Offered the job after just one interview. Salary is decent. Colleagues at my level are friendly and interesting people.

      Cons

      One of the flag values of Nielsen is "Transparency" but the common practice is to hide the true status of the progress not only from the client, but also from colleagues from other departments. When I shared info about lack of resources in my project as a cause for delay I was told by my manager "to wash the dirty laundry in my own house". Working hours are crazy. If you are not assertive they will make you work 7 am to 11 pm. People schedule calls at 3 am cause they cannot wait few days to talk to China. We outsource to India and I have heard of cases of people not sleeping there for 3 days to deliver. Forget about your own life....
