Pros

The culture here is enough reason to work at Nielsen. People are actually happy at work. Every one is easy going but hardworking at the same time. Very social/young environment. Great work/life balance. Senior management is working extremely hard to help this company achieve greatness. They are making progress and are being transparent along the way. Clients are very happy. Senior management is very approachable. Lots of structured development programs are being put into place to help career advancement. Senior management is good about listening to suggestions and taking action.

Cons

Pay is high for marketing but not compared to finance/consulting. Technology can be upgraded but they are working on that.

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.
