Pros

well, big enough to see MR world and meet big client...

Cons

The only way to make your life easier .... "talk more, do less". Since all senior management are blind, they "see" your performace with their ears but not eyes.

Pros

Good company, leading position in the marketplace, with a global footprint and theoretical opportunities for growth. Still profitable and gave bonuses last year

Cons

massive transition, some work still needed on the communication of that change. They seem to focus on the very top of the organization an the entry level employees and forget about those in the middle

Pros

I applied at Nielsen because I thought the industry was fairly shielded from layoffs but that has changed and there is no longer a reason to work there. If you want to gain expertise as a kid out of college, this is a great place to work. They will ride you until you collapse but you'll gain experience in the process.

Cons

Their technology department is disorganized and overwhelmed by the stupid process called BPQ which is great for new products but terrible for changes to existing products or for services. My advice if you want to keep your job is kiss a lot of ass and work 70 hours per week.
