      Career Opportunities on the decline

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company is profitable and holds a leadership position in the industry.

      Cons

      The company is rapidly turning over various jobs to TATA consulting. This leaves fewer opportunities for Employees to advance or maintain jobs. The stated objective of the management at Nielsen is to continuously evaluate whether a particular type of work is best done by US employees in the US, or by some combination of TATA consultants in the US or over seas. Seemingly every evaluation comes back with TATA doing the work and US employees being let go. I don't see this trend reversing anytime soon.

      Pros

      It's better than being unemployed; benefits are pretty good.

      Cons

      Currently restructuring... Morale is through the floor and employees held hostage to get a severance package. Long time, loyal employees are being let go; bright, talented employees are being let go.

      Pros

      Changes. There are a lot of changes right now at Nielsen and the are a lot of possibilities to move up, to grow personally and to obtain enormous amount of knowledge. Another reason to work is the broad scope of the services of the company and available opportunities to learn. And the last but not least is the team and I mean it. Senior managers are great, providing opportunity to grow personally and professionally, and the system of meritocracy, recently introduced to Nielsen, means that people can apply the skills and knowledge they have got and be rewarded for doing that.

      Cons

      Payment could be better as well as opportunities for promotion for low-level staff
