Vantaggi

Nielsen is the leader in market research and intelligence so there is company name recognition, a solid client base and tons of valuable raw data. The company provides an excellent opportunity to learn about individual categories and industries because it often provides the data that is used to evaluate players within that category or industry.

Svantaggi

Current morale is bad. Recent restructuring has made product development a tortured process. This results in missed deadlines and botched operations for processes that previously had no issues. There is a lot of confusion about what people's roles are. New job classifications like 'product leadership' have been rolled out without any clear explanation of what that actually means. IT and operations have been grouped into Global Business Systems. Generally, people have not bought into the re-org which is not surprising because it has never fully been explained.

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.
