      End of the day, wishing I had another job...

      Pros

      Benefits are good. Not having a boss breathing down your back, but emailing is quite over used.

      Cons

      The line between our work and personal lives practically do not exist. Work follows the employee everywhere, even on vacation. On-call is a fact of the job that never gets talked about when being explained aspects of the job.

      Pros

      If you want to be successful in market research you should work at Nielsen at some point of time.

      Cons

      Low Pay for skills required. Ego clashes between different parts of the company. Badly structured organization which could be a lot more effective if there was better communication between groups.

      Pros

      The company is a great place for people to start off in Market Research.

      Cons

      The new re-organization is bad really bad. All IT and accounting is in India, building management is off site. Everything is about metrics even when there isn't a logical way to measure it. There is now a hiring freeze and a bonus and raise freeze for 2009
