Nielsen reviews

Nielsen thought it could ride on it's name for forever, dragging their feet on modernizing, on seeing the bigger picture. Too many silo'd paths, too much back and forth. Massive debt building and building. Then they had to sell themselves to one of the evilest debt gobbling take over companies out there, and now the European and America labor force, by and large, gone. Mass culling. Reduced severance where you're barely getting any severance at all. You really can't even do us a solid with the severance you gave others? It's a crap market for job hunting and you've knee capped us even harder. It's a terrible way to treat other human beings who made you millions in your personal coffers. Nielsen dragged out their end for a year and a half, round after round of layoffs and then forcing us to work harder with so much less while we all tried to get other jobs in an awful hiring market. No raises. No promotions. Nothing. And now suddenly, blam, you're out. Just like that. Nielsen is taking advantage of cheaper markets in Poland, India, Mexico, exploiting that labor and trashing American and seriously cutting back on severance and healthcare access. Monstrous behavior.

Culture is now "culture of cost cutting". Understaffed to the point where it will start to show with clients. Layoffs still happening and there is no internal talent that can be shuffled around. Don't see myself having a pay raise anytime soon and with the company missing numbers, not expecting much of anything really. We sell in projects but then there are not enough people to complete them. I left my last job because of this type of mentality, it is not sitting well. Currently working through a VERY disorganized restructuring of the company as well as changing all of our internal management platforms. Needless to say, there is total lack of transparency, and I honestly don't have a very good outlook. You have to reach out to senior leadership for updates on what is going on rather than them reaching out to you. No one checks in on you, general feeling of a lack of empathy/compassion for employees. Because most people are remote or on-site, there is no sense of community/culture with Nielsen. You feel more aligned with your clients. I can't speak for others but certainly feel alone with no resources for help.
