      Pros

      Nielsen has a great history of providing great marketing research information based on the best quality research methodology and data. There is great pride in the history and quality and clients need the services to manage their business interally and externally.

      Cons

      The organization is focused on the science and the delivery of the data but has a difficult time expressing a thoughtful opinion and engaging in a consultative relationship with its customer. There has been an declared desire to move from a company recognized for data delivery to a valued client partner respected for advice and foresight but the investment in people and systems make this very difficult.

      There is an ugly undercurrent that is growing within the ranks of the people that make up Nielsen

      Pros

      The atmosphere has completely been transformed in the past 2 years, the company used to be a great place to work, but now there is anxiety and dissatisfaction in all departments. It is not overstated to say that morale is terrible. Once the reorganizations are completed, the company may be a good place to work again, but for now its pretty miserable.

      Cons

      Outsourcing Outsourcing Outsourcing, Clearly, its a companies duty to make money, but in the economic times that we live in, really do we really need to continue to make a few extra dollars, when our ebitda will be over 1 billion dollars this year?

      Pros

      some people really like their jobs.

      Cons

      This company supposedly doing business by selling information, but considering how their analyst and even senior level management provide their clients, by the way of "getting rabbit out of magic hat" and other so-called "qualitative analytics" solution, I wonder whether they can keep most of their clients in the near future.
