Pros

- Large company with name recognition - Huge networking opportunities - many people who shift in and out of the company are some of the most brilliant people I've met are field experts/frequently cited sources

Cons

- Low compensation - Pay freezes that take over a year to be lifted - Can sometimes dangle a promotion over your head while not giving you an appropriate pay raise but still make you do the extended work of your new role - Low bonuses

Pros

The team does good work. The data is pretty concrete. The clients have been good to work with as well and there is a lot of learning involved.

Cons

NJ office is quiet isolated from what happens in the HQ in Glenview where the action is. If you are not happy in your role in NJ, nobody in HQ would really care. Its politics that work. Overall, its still not a bad place to work.

Pros

I like the fact that there is tremendous potential to grow and its a multifunctional company so that people can develop their skills across the various platforms available at Nielsen.

Cons

the company is not open about the merit system and promotions. The salary differentials on the same position are drastic.
