Pros

works schedules were flexible. Benefits not bad. People/employees very good. used to be a much better place though. not any more

Cons

Managment is slashing and burning to make the bottom line look better. They get rid of competent, previously loyal employee's, aand replace them with cheap contractors who can't get the job done. They make money in spite of themselves because they are the only game in town. Toss existing archecture aside for the lastest flavor rather then integrating. Also, the knowledge gained there isn't transferable to other occupation. Avoid it at all costs!

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.
