      Pros

      Prior to the relentless off-shoring of jobs, as part of the private equity purchase, NMR was a decent employer for the Tampa area. The salary was fair and the people were excellent colleagues. The facility in Oldsmar was a great place to work.

      Cons

      Continued layoffs and the overall atmosphere of distrust and resentment, coupled with the knowledge that management is just as concerned with losing their jobs as are the rank and file, and are prone to panic at upsetting their bosses. It has digressed into 'it's a job' rather than a destination, and a number of employees have opted to depart rather than wait for the inevitable axe to fall.

      Get a start here if you must - then move on

      Pros

      A lot of other market research companies still consider Nielsen a good foundation for a career in the industry. The company is huge, so you may have a good chance to have a career here if you get the right manager or into the right group or division.

      Cons

      Very disparate and uneven management practices. Heavily under-resourced especially since started process of going public. HR out of touch. IT 100% outsourced; much of rest of technical or operations jobs given to foreigners with work visas in Tampa, FL. Notoriously poor compensation on average.
