      Pros

      A sense of history and accomplishment among those who have been here for a while. A chance to work on new and exciting projects as Nielsen moves into measurement of new media.

      Cons

      A downbeat atmosphere as some longtime employees are let go or leave.

      Pros

      Good place to get some training and name recognition before leaving. You can get your foot in the door on the client side once you have the Nielsen name on your resume. It's also easy to go to another consulting firm that uses Nielsen data (but those firms are often bad places to work).

      Cons

      BASES, the unit I worked, has some long hours and is insulated from the rest of the company. At BASES, the best you can hope for is VP and that takes around 8 years. The forecasting is a bit sketchy. Sometimes numbers are made up and the adjustments are made on a manager's whim or "intuition"

      Pros

      Bagel Fridays, nice furniture, flexible time, free lunch every other month

      Cons

      Unnecessary risk taking and untrained middle managers make it hard to remain motivated for long. Pay is below industry. When inquired about equity opportunities, the Chairman said "That's the silliest notion I've heard."
