Pros

Benefits heavy company. Company car is nice as well as free gasoline but expectations are unrealistic - only sales people who "succeed" either cheat or work 50-60 hours a week.

Cons

Like high school - who ever people like get to hang around - a LOT of ineptitude here. Most of the time the software doesn't work or the hardware is faulty and they are constantly putting out untested things and then blaming the employees for not hitting their numbers Managers manage sales force and have no sales experience. They love to promote people into jobs they are unqualified for.

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.
