Pros

The people are generally nice and pretty smart, which makes working more enjoyable. The managers are generally good and constructive with their criticism, they are also keen to look after you and your career path. Career progression, in my role at least, is very structured and it's easy to tell where you are and where you need to be heading towards. Finally, the upper management are smart and friendly and always interested in hearing your point of view, even if you're very junior.

Cons

I feel that in the interests of being fair, management can sometimes lose sight of other issues. There can also be a little arrogance in our department that we are better than the other company departments, which doesn't help the integration push we are having. I think this would be perceived by the other departments too. Feedback can sometimes be too consistently positive, which makes it difficult to know whether you are doing a great job the whole time or your manager is just being nice, it can also make it difficult to know in which direction to move forward.

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.
