Pros

1. A good place to go to if you want to go into marketing - learn the heart of market analytics and research from a leading and recongised company that has major clients

Cons

In all fairness, I believe that I didnt enjoy my time at nielsen because it simply wasnt the job for me. I quickly learnt that market research didnt interest me, which made work pretty difficult. This aside, the main cons for me were: 1. not International 2. Absolutely no management (perhaps this is just the nature of consulting though?), no career guidance, advice, etc 3. Repeative work 4. No effort to keep employees happy.

Pros

Exposure to many categories/industries and large MNCs. Always work and less hierarchy within the department, employees often work one-on-one with senior management, a great way to learn. Management is not hesitant to throw you in deep-end, you are given many responsibilities from the beginning which allows one to learn a lot. Satisfied with how much I have learned and feel its a great place to start.

Cons

There is no work and personal life balance. You are constantly told that you just need to plan time better and that you are at liberty to take a break but the time-lines and inadequate manpower forces one to constantly work late nights and weekends. Management is also frustrating, difficult to get responses as everyone is always too busy. HR is very disorganized and not professional. HR does not do a good job of welcoming or informing employees of procedures yet they are a very procedure driven corporation, it leaves you in the dark.
