Pros
Ability to work remote - you basically reap the benefits of your client. Just changed to unlimited vacation (con: this probably was to save money by not having to pay out vacation time when people leave since they never paid sick time)
Cons
Culture is now "culture of cost cutting". Understaffed to the point where it will start to show with clients. Layoffs still happening and there is no internal talent that can be shuffled around. Don't see myself having a pay raise anytime soon and with the company missing numbers, not expecting much of anything really. We sell in projects but then there are not enough people to complete them. I left my last job because of this type of mentality, it is not sitting well. Currently working through a VERY disorganized restructuring of the company as well as changing all of our internal management platforms. Needless to say, there is total lack of transparency, and I honestly don't have a very good outlook. You have to reach out to senior leadership for updates on what is going on rather than them reaching out to you. No one checks in on you, general feeling of a lack of empathy/compassion for employees. Because most people are remote or on-site, there is no sense of community/culture with Nielsen. You feel more aligned with your clients. I can't speak for others but certainly feel alone with no resources for help.
