Nielsen reviews

In terms of employee satisfaction and engagement, this is the least healthy organization I have ever worked for. It is shocking how many of my colleagues, after leaving the company, use the word "traumatic" when reflecting upon their time there. In over a decade with the company, I can say that I was happy for only the first two years. Somewhat ironically, it was around the time of the company's rebranding as "one Nielsen" and "simple, open, integrated" that morale seemed to go into a freefall, at least in our business unit, and it never recovered. Employee recognition is purely lip service - company practice seems to be "if you're not seeing results, change personnel, not strategy", which creates a hostile environment. Focus shifted entirely too far into counting pennies, to the point of devaluing our products. Leaving there, it felt like an enormous weight was lifted off of my shoulders.

Everything. IF you're interested in the M.R. position, it is common knowledge that they terminate the reps annually. First round is August, sept/oct is pushed for improved numbers and their bonus, then back to hell as they seek to have everyone fired before christmas. All the reviews calling it a "turn-stile" is true 100%. They lie during the interview that you can make 8-10K monthly bonus. Complete BS. I exceeded my performance and the best I could net after texas was $960 bonus. Salary/hourly is about 32K annual. They put reps on a "schedule for success" which is the path to rapid termination in three weeks. They even fraudulently filed FMLA on me and I wasn't sick! I wasted 1.5 year giving them time to fix things. yeah right. The board of directors are worthless and Dwight Barns (CEO destroying Nielsen) has a relationship with James Atwood of the Carlyle Group in NYC. Atwood becomes the Chairman of the Board jan. 2016. By Jan. 2017 the carlyle group completes it's first acquisition of a Nielsen subsidiary announced in their press release. Carlyle has also been funding Nielsen since 2006? Why? Dwight sits on the board for Monsanto for employee compensation and corporate responsibility. Seriously? I sent Dwight emails begging for field help including a cease and desist. Why did i get fired...??? I exceeded expectations on performance and did it in less than 40 hrs in a week, saved the company money and gave them excellent work. I got fired for being efficient. A friend got written up for being 7 minutes shy of her 40 hours. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT WORK FOR Nielsen as long as Dwight is the CEO. HE IS DESTROYING MR. NEILSEN'S LEGACY!!!!
