Pros
A great place to start your career. There are great opportunities to work with advanced tools that can answer some of the business questions of the world's leading companies. This experience is highly valued in the marketplace and lead to future opportunities.
Cons
The organization does a very poor job of recognizing talent and promoting leading performers. The promotion process seems arbitrary. Employees often experience more teamwork with clients than within the Nielsen organization. There is often too much emphasis on new processes irrespective of whether or not those processes create efficiency. Compensation is average for marketing research organizations, substandard compared to CPG manufacturers.
