Pros

If you are someone likes to play the corporate games, Nielsen is the place for you. If you are lucky enough and you can work on big clients project/team, the chances your work will be appreciated will the higher than those ones who did not get this type of chances. Nielsen's performance has been not good in recent years, because Nielsen only focus on the big accounts, only the people who work on the big accounts will get noticed or appreciated. People have been leaving for the same reason. But having saying above, if you can fake your attitude in front of your manager, you still have a chance to make it even though you are not working on the big accounts.

Cons

Very political. Kills people's motivation and creativities.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
