      The Nielsen Company

      Pros

      The employees at the company are good people to work with. The work on new products is interesting and challenging.

      Cons

      Currently morale is low. There is a very adversarial atmosphere at the company. Job performance is rated on a bell curve and even if you achieve your goals that management agreed to at the beginning of the year, which should be "on target", you could still be rated "below target" against your peers. Jobs are currently being outsourced to India at a ratio of roughly 70% outsourced, 30% employees. No one feels safe.

      Reorganization - lacking communication

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work done by this company is very interesting and challenging. There pay scales seem to be in line with the market rates and they do have good benefits, health care, dental, vision, matching 401K plan and additional optional contributions to your 401.

      Cons

      The company is going through a reorganization and employees are uneasy. As people are unsure of their future, there is an increased tendency to not be too collaborative if you think it might effect your job security. Communication, when it does flow down from the top, is not openly communicated - much is spread through conversations with other employees.

      A Leadership company in the making

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nielsen is a global leader, recognized around the world by all industries as an expert in data. The company is TRYING to perform a transformation from data provider to consultant...its a marathon, not a sprint.

      Cons

      The Nielsen Company is SO large that the softer side of business is sometimes lost by senior management. We are not just 0's and 1's (or 4, 3, 2, 1's)...to be a leadership company, true leadership must shine.
