      Pros

      What we offer is good. It used to be very different before Nielsen bought us. I liked the old IAG.

      Cons

      Lack of communication on all levels. There are a lot of changes happening. It would be nice to know what to expect. Very unsure of the next steps.

      Pros

      There used to be an understanding that you could work at Nielsen for crap pay, but enjoy a 40 hour work week and not work like dogs, as elsewhere in the CPG world. There was something known as work/life balance for the typical employee.

      Cons

      The crap pay still exists, but the work/life balance is long gone. I know of many people who put in 60 hours a week to get the job done. For what? Many are working 1.5 positions, since management has taken to not replacing heads or stalling our clients and replacing only after 6-8 months lapse.

      A good entry-level job for a college grad, but very common to burn-out within a year

      Pros

      -you get to work with a diverse list of clients in media and CPG, which can be impressive on resume -flexibility in working from home/time off if planned for ahead of time -young people who are friendly -clear path in career progession

      Cons

      -expect to work long hours as an analyst/snr analyst/assoc. manager -stressful and ridiculous expectations in terms of workload, at times -low pay given the amount of hours spent doing work -little to no bonus (if you are junior, expect at most 5% of your salary) -poor work/life balance -poor benefits package -bad office locations -big learning curve so you are only independent and functional after 6-8 months -you can get burnt out quickly due to workload -turnover rate is high and happens often, which leaves the people left behind in a poor position to carry the workload. new hires also aren't useful/functional so it's a constant catching up process with people coming, staying 1-2 years, then leaving
