Pros

WFH sometimes. Nothing else comes to mind.

Cons

Very chaotic style of work. Extreme offshoring with cheap inexperienced people. 7-Eleven style work environment. You're expected to work 24 / 7 with no appreciation of any kind. Most experienced people have left or leaving. The only people who stay are those who can not get a position in another company. This is the only company I've seen where employees quitting after weeks or months of their start date is regular and normal.

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.
