Pros

Nice people and approachable upper management

Cons

(I left prior to 2015 as that year is the earliest year available in the Glassdoor dropdown) THE biggest con was TCS (Tata) - the company outsourced / offshores many of its back office functions and I was part of the retained organization that was responsible for its respective areas but which was dependent on offshore TCS employees for support. It was a frustrating disaster - TCS over promised and under delivered. Nielsen May love it due to cost savings but it was not a place that I wanted to be at for the intermediate or long term. Also, at the time, annual merit increases were mediocre at best even for employees with near perfect evaluations and performance.

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.
