Pros

nice coworkers. casual dress programs. working at a top class market research company. nielsen is a well known name (prestige).

Cons

way too big. more managers than needed. groups aren't given all the "people resources" needed, so working understaffed most of the time. pointless initiatives are frequently rolled out that create more work with little to no benefit. lower than competitive pay. a lot of jobs have been outsourced, to a lower quality of work.

Pros

Working with best and the biggest MR company in the world. Exposure to best practices. Process driven. Friendly atmosphere. Brand equity.

Cons

Too big. Middle management (country/regional & sub-regional management) is not great and they easily get away because the company is too big. Very vague compensation policy. No clarity in many processes due to being very big. To late is decision making.
