      Nielsen is not a place to stay too long

      Pros

      Nielsen is well recognized for its products and services. This is a great start to your career; it looks good to have Nielsen on your resume.

      Cons

      Right now I feel as if Nielsen is on a downward trend. Dave Calhoun has suspended promotions and raises for six months, and there is a hiring freeze, on top of layoffs in the latter part of last year. This is not helping employee morale. In fact, this strategy is going to drive away talented employees who will find opportunities on the client side where they will get rewarded for their hard work.

      Pros

      The employees are all positive and friendly, it is definately a positive working environment. There is plenty of room to move up in the corporation. Nielsen is global so if you work hard in your position it may open up a door to many other opportunities. Nieslen has an open door policy and for the most part communication from management is pretty open. There are always Town Hall meetings that keep all employees up to speed on the changes in our fast processing company, even if those changes include corporate restructures (firings). Nielsen is the largest media research firm period. If you work for Nielsen, you have a lot to be proud of, the company has a great reputation.

      Cons

      The main downside of working for Nielsen is that if you work your hardest everyday and achieve success, you usually don't get recognized for your contributions to the company. How do you boost morale? I don't know but figure it out.

      Pros

      Working with senior leadership within the company have improved my career opportunities within this company. I really like the recognition I get from senior management in creating ownership of my current role. Although the company is retracting from bad economy and re-organization have brought a lot of negative press, I feel this company is making the tough decision to try to work leaner and stay competitive.

      Cons

      The massive portfolio of services this company provide is really confusing. Thus, integration is not as smooth as it sounds. All of the re-organization have caused even more confusion. Finding the right balance is the key to bring simplicity into the myriads of information we provide.
