Pros

Great place to work lots to learning opportunity great technology stack great people flexibility and remote work work life balance

Cons

When you first join the company it might feel a bit disorganized but once you get past that stage you will enjoy working there. However, the compensation can be a bit fair especially for Canadian employees when you realize that your coworker in US is making significantly more than you, it taints your job satisfaction a bit. (But I understand its a hard one to satisfy for sure so can't completely blame the organization for 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.
