      Great place to start - don't stay too long

      Pros

      -Nielsen is a fantastic place to begin your career because you get to work with a wide array of well known clients and learn your industry. -Nielsen affords you the opportunity to do things much sooner in your career then you would likely be able to otherwise like project management and client presentations. -Additionally, after 3-4 years, having an everyday office presence is often times not mandatory.

      Cons

      -There were a few one time isolated 'shock' incidents that prompted me to begin searching for a job so it is fair to say that treatment/actions by senior management is a downside to working for Nielsen. -Compensation is not competitive with your clients. If you leave the company to work for a client, you will discover that you will be able to earn 25-50% more working somewhere else. If Nielsen offered fantastic work/life balance, that would not be as problematic, but working 70 hours in a week and/or working over vacation time or holidays is too common to say that. Given the compensation differential and mediocre work/life balance, why stay? -There is weak senior leadership. My business unit has had more leaders than I have years with the company. -The company is overly bureaucratic and has too many decision makers who are process oriented instead of results oriented. -I have seen several talented individuals voluntarily leave the company in the past year voluntarily. Watching this consistently transpire is devastating to morale.
