      Great Experience, Develop Tough Skin & Politics

      Client manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent opportunity to develop relationships with numerous CPG companies from the inside. Develop skills to identify client issues and become business partner to solve and grow their business. Great cross section of market research tools and use of data.

      Cons

      As a client contractor, can be challenging to develop strong relationships. Can, at times, be adversarial with client's market research team. Internal Nielsen can be very political and you will need to learn how to best play in this environment. Also, technical and data issues that arise (beyond your control) become your problem as the face of Nielsen.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nielsen is the leader in media research and market research in the US and is a major competitor worldwide. If you want to work for the most powerful media research company, this is the company for you. Even if you eventually plan to have a career with another company, working at Nielsen for a couple of years will allow you to build up contacts and develop insights into the Nielsen's consumer products.

      Cons

      Nielsen's leadership has chosen to take the G.E. playbook and systemically document and control every process, thus commoditizing many employees. Nielsen's engineering department has been decimated and the remains have been absorbed into the information technology department.
