Nielsen reviews

Even with an exceeds expectations annual rating, no bonus, no raise. Last year, they hired someone with less technical and general overall data science experience to a position above me and have been told numerous times that I am outperforming him, yet I received no pay increase or recognition. On top of that, I have more responsibilities than the person above me. Then, they proceeded to hire two more Lead Data Scientists from external, again with less work experience than me. So I am the lone person at the bottom of the totem pole even though I have consistently been the top performer. Thirdly, I found out from a coworker that I am being severely underpaid compared to others with the same title and upper management expressed shock that I requested a pay increase. I just don't understand Nielsen. DO NOT WORK HERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR WORTH.

The annual attrition rate being over 50% should be a warning to everyone. Don't believe the work life balance hard sell. 8a-7p, 9a-10p, 9a-6p, any of these can happen and it's different every day. Don't believe the "you may have to work an occasional Saturday" hard sell. Expect to work Saturdays and you better work peak hours on Saturday or else. Sunday? Sure. That's a thing too. Comparisons of membership reps between vastly different markets are common. Prepare to be compared to someone who works three areas to your one area a thousand miles away and asked why you're not producing on their level and don't make excuses. Frustrating daily production systems errors. No feeling of teamwork. Non-stop shifting/quitting of management. No upward mobility except in rare cases. Expect contact from management at any hour on any day so keep your com[any phone handy. A lot of work and a lot of stress for not a lot of pay and a bonus structure that has become embarrassing. I have been pressured to adjust my time clock entries more than once to avoid overtime reporting. Unethical. Training is a joke. New people come in completely unprepared and fail quickly.
