Pros

At the stage the company is in currently, absolutely none.

Cons

Completely clueless leadership, laid off thousands of talented individuals and replaced with nepo hires in India by a CTO with a proven history of destroying companies. Constant layoffs since they don’t have ideas to innovate and have to keep showing a strong bottom line for the eventual IPO. Highly dissatisfied employees just waiting to be laid off or on the lookout for their next role. Absolutely would not recommend joining this place at this point of time.

Pros

Absolutley nothing. Which is a tragedy, because Nielsen was once an absolutely great place to work. I wanted to retire here. The culture used to be great, and I really loved being a part of this place. I loved my team, my management, and the people. Then along came the current CEO who is the classic example of a person who knows the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. He took over and ran the company full speed ahead in to the iceberg. And to try and save the sinking ship, he laid off literally thousands of highly experienced, highly trained, and highly engaged people to replace them with fresh overseas hires who know nothing about the company and expect them to be trained from the ground up to replace literally centuries of collective expererience and client relations. It's a disaster. This CEO shouldn't be trusted to run a lemonade stand.

Cons

Everything. Pay, job security, culture, management. Nothing is good here anymore. Don't take a job here unless you are truly desperate. And even then, it should only be as a stop-gap until you can find something else.
