      Pros

      The culture here is enough reason to work at Nielsen. People are actually happy at work. Every one is easy going but hardworking at the same time. Very social/young environment. Great work/life balance. Senior management is working extremely hard to help this company achieve greatness. They are making progress and are being transparent along the way. Clients are very happy. Senior management is very approachable. Lots of structured development programs are being put into place to help career advancement. Senior management is good about listening to suggestions and taking action.

      Cons

      Pay is high for marketing but not compared to finance/consulting. Technology can be upgraded but they are working on that.

      Pros

      Good benefits (Medical and 401K)

      Cons

      Cronyism Culture of fear (people unwilling to speak up, say no etc for fear of being laid off) Breeds sycophants Too much outsourcing No respect for technical talent Too much focus on consolidation and centralization (individual business units can not make independent decisions) Slow, restrictive and bureaucratic processes (competitors able to execute cheaper & faster) Management out of touch with the industry. No real career growth. Continuous executive restructuring Top heavy
