Pros

Global company with opportunity for young people who are willing to move around and don't mind being paid little. Work-life balance is a possibility since working remotely (from home) is encouraged.

Cons

Going from a manufacturing environment (GE) to a market research company, all those principles do not transfer so well. We're not making jet engines at Nielsen. Pay is below market, especially in markets like New York and California. Nepotism is rampant and morale is generally very low.
