      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting work; great co-workers; opportunity to do something no one else does.

      Cons

      Constant turmoil; cost cutting for the sake of cost cutting - no efficiencies gained. Long learning curve for data ridiculed by upper management; upper management with no industry experience; upper management with no business background. Layoffs of high performers; low performers who are part of the current in group kept. Incomplete vetting of contractors - no problem determination and correction skills. Contractors expect Nielsen employees to fix all the problems they create.

      Pros

      respectable company in an exciting and ever changing industry. each day is not like the other.

      Cons

      Management is completely incompetent. They choose employees to pick on until they quit if they ever disagree with them. Do not know how to balance personal life and work; they expect work to be your life.
