Vantaggi

-A lot of flexibility in WFH practices, which is appreciated -Some offices have great snacks/beverages available (some definitely don’t) -Engineering org is fairly diverse -That’s probably it

Svantaggi

-Unsupported by senior leaders in my org -No guidance until someone outside the org expresses dissatisfaction with something, and then you are micro-managed -Poor training materials on product (was expected to self-teach when started) -MyTime isn’t REALLY flexible. Most managers frown on taking time off in the engineering org. Would prefer dedicated PTO/year -A lot of “old boys” in engineering leading to outdated practices and resistance against new ones. Many converted from linear to digital roles over the years and it isn’t a good fit -Expected to utilize Employee Resource Groups as ways to “promote diversity” but the company completely discourages things like attending outside conferences on D&I

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.
