Pros
A lot of other market research companies still consider Nielsen a good foundation for a career in the industry. The company is huge, so you may have a good chance to have a career here if you get the right manager or into the right group or division.
Cons
Very disparate and uneven management practices. Heavily under-resourced especially since started process of going public. HR out of touch. IT 100% outsourced; much of rest of technical or operations jobs given to foreigners with work visas in Tampa, FL. Notoriously poor compensation on average.
