Vantaggi

-Exposure to world class clients - Will learn a lot - Breadth of research tools/data is unique to the industry -Work at home opportunities

Svantaggi

Following several years of being owned by private equity and now actively being traded on Wall Street, it's not the same company as it was when I joined many years ago. - Depending on the position, hours can be long and work life balance challenged - Job Security - many organizational changes and layoffs that have not yielded desired results - Stagnant raises - most people will only see a raise every 2 years and it's meager when you get it. - Un realistic financial goals leading to ever shrinking or non existent bonuses - Aggressive financial goals placing pressure on senior management by Wall Street leading to a lot of pressure for client facing associates to focus more on sales than solving client needs -Too much focus on Quarterly results leading to short term vision and decision making and negative long term outcomes - Paid vacation eliminated and converted to "me time"; meaning that when you leave the company you are no longer paid for unused vacation

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.
