Pros

Depending on the area, most people work from home. This can be a con if you are new to the company and want to build relationships with co-workers. Great place to START your career and gain valuable experience and knowledge. Take this experience and go somewhere that will value you.

Cons

I have seen many changes over my three decades working for Nielsen. The last ten years have been a revolving door with layoffs every 6 mos. Nielsen does not value it's employees only the bottom line. They use to care what employee thought. The company used to have annual reviews of themselves where every employee is encouraged to participate in review the company and department they contribute to. This allowed the company to look at areas for improvement. This is no longer a priority. They are trying to be a technology company and failing miserably as they don't have a clue. Do not build something expecting clients to buy into it, There is no integrity as they will promise the client things they know they cannot deliver.

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.
