Pros

Each department has policies that are unique, and mostly adaptable to each employee's needs. Most supervisors do their best to accommodate everyone. As always, the individuals that you work with are of the highest quality. The facilities are modern, generally comfortable, healthy, and adaptable. The campus is beautiful, and in a great location.

Cons

Educational opportunities are limited when you already have a post grad degree. Company, officially, will not pay for more education if you already have a master's level degree. Beyond that, overall, an uninspiring place to work. Much promotion of persons who are not competent overall (personally or technically).

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.
