Pros

You can make a lot of money. Flexible work schedule, opportunities to travel, company car, laptop, cell phone, printer. You meet a lot of people from all levels of the company. Nielsen is a well known brand.

Cons

Often incompetent management. If you are not a minority of some sort you will eventually not be treated as well. Advancement potential seems to all be a pet project. Success is often a moving target at this company. They say they want top performers however their system is built to keep everyone in the middle. Having been one of the top performers I see the socialist aspects of the company.
