Pros
Good place to get some training and name recognition before leaving. You can get your foot in the door on the client side once you have the Nielsen name on your resume. It's also easy to go to another consulting firm that uses Nielsen data (but those firms are often bad places to work).
Cons
BASES, the unit I worked, has some long hours and is insulated from the rest of the company. At BASES, the best you can hope for is VP and that takes around 8 years. The forecasting is a bit sketchy. Sometimes numbers are made up and the adjustments are made on a manager's whim or "intuition"
