Vantaggi

At it's best, Nielsen was a business where you could start out in ops, marketing, the field, technology, wherever, and learn/grow your way into a completely different part of the business. At one time, you could learn directly from the people who built the modern version of the business during the 70s, 80s, and 90s as they reached the end of their careers and worked to establish successors.

Svantaggi

Private equity, abandonment of quality as a defining principle and marketplace differentiator. The old checks, balances, and quality measures have all been abandoned. The devolution has been slow but steady since the 2000s (see Dave Calhoun (GE, NBCU, Boeing) and Jack Welch evangelists brought less six sigma and more brute force offshoring/outsourcing to the business. Evergreen/Brookfield have only accelerated the inevitable dissolution/parting out of what was once a powerful, global business.

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.
