Vantaggi

On the surface, potential to move around and into different disciplines is exciting and seems attainable. Their potential to provide consumer and shopper insights through, and from, a variety of media and platforms is valuable for clients and employees. Good opportunity to learn market research/analytic skills - a good platform from which to jump to another company.

Svantaggi

Although they are a public company again, ever since the PE people took over they have created an atmosphere of mistrust and deception. I don't think they want people to have a long-term career there. They have substantially reduced their pay ranges and potential salary increases for the vast majority of employees. 2% is most common if you can get that, and people have to wait more than a year for that so it's not really 2%. But, Mitchell Habib gets a 17% raise on his base salary of $675k. Whether or not he deserves it is immaterial - senior management has misrepresented "we're all having to take cost-cutting measures". Departments are still very territorial and it is very hard to move across disciplines. Very "cliquish". People seem to really dislike working there now. Company usually does not back its employees.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
