Nielsen reviews

- Nielsen is wildly underprepared for the forthcoming industry changes despite the picture everyone tries to paint internally. That coupled with constantly methodology updates is going to make the future of several flagship digital products murky - Office politics take up more time than your actual job. You will spend time fighting uphill battles you will never win - I have been trying unsuccessfully to get promoted for almost two years despite many empty promises and I've never had a proper review while at Nielsen. Don't seem to care much about employees' professional growth. - Generally a slow moving, lackadasical culture which is incredibly demotivating for sellers. Constantly fighting with support and product teams for client engagement and support to no avail. - I've gotten one 3% raise in the almost two years I worked at Nielsen

What is ultimately rewarded is ability to imitate the work of others. Senior leadership rewards and promotes those who can mimic their work style but not necessarily those who can manage or think strategically. This will continue to affect Nielsen negatively as their CPG clients are getting smarter. Hiring data scientists and want people who can think strategically and not just execute. Best to avoid unless your goal is to stay for a year or two to put a somewhat known name on your resume. Culture is extremely negative and turnover is incredibly high. Many have one foot out the door.
