Pros

Great associates and culture. The campus is beautiful and the parking is private and plentiful. Unlimited PTO for some positions as well, and the benefits are nice.

Cons

Constant changes in management and teams. One of my peer's has had 5 different managers in 3 years. I personally have had 2 in 1 year and have moved teams. This lack of consistency and no clear direction from management is going to cause a lot of turnover. It feels like we get an email every week of a new leader or department reorganization. Most associates I've talked with are not happy with their jobs and are currently looking elsewhere.

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.
