Pros
The research is interesting, if perhaps a little shaky. The Nielsen brand name, however, certainly opens doors going forward. The client mix is good, and it enjoys a good reputation.
Cons
The culture is rather cut-throat, and not even honestly so. They maintain a hire-divide-promote/fire-hire new management philosophy that cycles people through very quickly, all the while pretending to be nurturing to career growth. Criticism is generally "sink or swim". Those that excel are very talented and intelligent, but perhaps a little narrowly focused. Emphasis is on production, rather than problem solving for clients.
