      Pros

      The opportunity to work with smart people and continually learn new things. Throughout my tenure at Nielsen, I have had the opportunity to advance in my career by working for different business units within this very large market research company. There are opportunities to work in other parts of the company. Nielsen can also be very flexible. While the division I work for is very client focused, we often are able to work at home at times. Various people in our office have successfully worked at home regularly for years (not every day) and they have been able to get promoted while doing so.

      Cons

      Client demands can be tough at times so it takes a certain type of person to be successful in client service.

      Pros

      Gives you a broad perspective of the FMCG industry. Useful to plot your next move or understand dynamics of various companies. Lets you meet a lot of people if you are in client service. Flexible working style and extremely good colleages. Very little politics. Respected company name and fairly well establised.

      Cons

      Terrible workload management and constant shortage of staff leading to horrible work life balance (14-16 hour days common). Constant promises to enchance workforce and to manage clients better from senior management level, but this has faired very poorly.

      Great place to work in, unless you have a lousy manager like mine.

      Pros

      It ´s a multicultural and world wide recognized company. Customer Services is a great team and makes you feel comfortable no mater what. New York offices are still quite comfortable (despite having moved from a better floor last year). And the yearly trips are an amazing way to build a team character and set awareness about the new products and techniques Nielsen is developing.

      Cons

      in my case, my manager has never shown any respect to me and failed to provide me with guidance to improve my skills. No matter how hard I try to do my best and offer my free time to help my manager with his/ her projects, I ´ve never received a possitive attitude.
