Pros

Changes. There are a lot of changes right now at Nielsen and the are a lot of possibilities to move up, to grow personally and to obtain enormous amount of knowledge. Another reason to work is the broad scope of the services of the company and available opportunities to learn. And the last but not least is the team and I mean it. Senior managers are great, providing opportunity to grow personally and professionally, and the system of meritocracy, recently introduced to Nielsen, means that people can apply the skills and knowledge they have got and be rewarded for doing that.

Cons

Payment could be better as well as opportunities for promotion for low-level staff

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.
