Pros

The ability to work remotely.

Cons

There is no training in place to educate new hires, you are basically thrown into projects and expected to keep up This company has one of the most insecure/short sighted managers, nobody is capable of looking at the Big Picture and motivate the team, most of them lead teams with a culture of fear. Senior Mgmt has the same team from 10 -15 years and they get to play musical chairs, no room for anyone else. The experienced folks in this company are holding this company afloat until the new grads take over and more work is outsourced to TCS

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.
