Pros

Smart people Dedicated people Good work/life balance The old Nielsen people had a sense of dedication and honor. The new management brought in by Dave Calhoun not so much honor.

Cons

Dave Calhoun is making decisions that will get him to his $100 million payout.. Unfortunately, that means screw the employees and products long terms. It's all about the money, Dave's money. Head of Operations actually laughed on a conference call about all the people he was going to lay off. Kind of shows you how cold the new management is.

Pros

The workplace is staffed with a younger crowd (mostly no more than 10 years out of college) that asks for a good deal of flexibility. This shines through in the average work day (can begin at 6am or 10am depending on individual preferences) and vacation time and even "working from home" with company laptops.

Cons

Executives are focused on issues other than the actual product associates work toward delivering on a daily basis. As such, the company is not likely to spend on unnecessary items that other companies might to boost morale and cohesion in the workplace (no work-sponsored extra-curricular events whatsoever).
