      Pros

      Good exposure to Market Research. Hands on experience in household surveys and telephone surveys. Opportunity to interact with senior researchers in the company.

      Cons

      Interns are paid very late. Conflict with upper management. Sometimes feels like they are exploiting freelance interviewers as they are college undergraduates looking for part-time work.

      Pros

      What we offer is good. It used to be very different before Nielsen bought us. I liked the old IAG.

      Cons

      Lack of communication on all levels. There are a lot of changes happening. It would be nice to know what to expect. Very unsure of the next steps.

      WAS a great place to work...

      Pros

      There used to be an understanding that you could work at Nielsen for crap pay, but enjoy a 40 hour work week and not work like dogs, as elsewhere in the CPG world. There was something known as work/life balance for the typical employee.

      Cons

      The crap pay still exists, but the work/life balance is long gone. I know of many people who put in 60 hours a week to get the job done. For what? Many are working 1.5 positions, since management has taken to not replacing heads or stalling our clients and replacing only after 6-8 months lapse.
