      Pros

      Nielsen is a great company to have on your resume....I would say a great stepping stone towards something better!

      Cons

      Management in the Kennesaw office really sucked and fell to keep their employers informed at all times. Its cool to have a "family" environment but there needs to be a line drawn somewhere towards sharing personal information and bring your personal life to your place of employment.

      Pros

      Nielsen offers plenty of opportunity for smart, hardworking professionals. Nielsen employs some of the very best and brightest. I've enjoyed the collaboration and camaraderie with my co-workers. Nielsen has a unique position in the marketplaces in which it competes, there is a tremendous amount of potential for the company as a whole as well as individual contributors in the organization. Nielsen has gone through some restructuring, which is never easy, but for the most part the decisions that have been made, while difficult, seem to have the company on the right path.

      Cons

      Nielsen's benefits package is average at best, the health benefit in particular is a bit overpriced. Management's intentions are good, but they are not always effective in getting their messages down to the lower level of the organization.

      Pros

      Some of the best reasons to work for The Nielsen Company revolve around its prestige in data and analytics in the Market Research and media community, its global presence, and it's cliental. Nielsen services some of the largest players in the global economy especially in FMCG. Also working here you'll learn a lot in a short period of time about retailers and manufacturers and the important factors that go into thier business decisions.

      Cons

      Currently The Nielsen Company is in a restructuring phase which includes a lot of upper management changing positions, and there has been a focus on integration of all the business groups of Nielsen. This integration also referred to as "One Voice" has not transitioned smoothly where many of the business groups still act in silos. Be prepared to spend more than 40 hours a week in your position with demanding managers and clients with stringent deadlines. Another downside of The Nielsen Company includes the steep learning curve in terms of methodology of the products offered.
