      On track, but not running hard enough

      Pros

      Really the best company in the industry with the greatest potential to succeed. The vast array of tools and information at Nielsen are second to none.

      Cons

      It is taking senior management longer than it should to put all the pieces together. They are still clearing out some of the dead weight in exective management positions, and promoting successful analysts who are bad business managers.

      Pros

      WOrking for the Nielsen Company was a mixed experience. While I think the company is certainly headed in the right direction and Dave Calhoun knows what he is doing "One Nielsen" I was not that excited about the actual work I was doing and thus was not that excited about being at the company. However, the company does a great job of keeping all of the employees in the loop about decisions that are made, trends within the company, and future expectations. The company also trys to keep employees happy with small perks (casual dress, free lunch, dinner after 7).

      Cons

      I don't know if there are any significant downsides to the company, some areas that are not great include the hours which tended to be extremely long. I also am not certain that opportunities outside of the company if you decide to leave are that great because almost everything you learn is very proprietary and thus not very transferrable.

      Flexible and independent job that's easy yet routinely boring.

      Pros

      It's very flexible on anyone's schedule and independently done. Easy money made for an easy job done. Great company name.

      Cons

      Not enough hours are available because there's only so much surveys that can be provided. When you don't want hours (long surveys like Coca-Cola + nieghboring city DCA's Coca-Cola surveys when they suddenly call in sick), that's when it's finally available. It's routine and gets boring.
