Pros

The Nielsen brand has excellent name recognition throughout the consumer media and marketing community.

Cons

Private equity has brought in former General electric management to prepare the company for liquidation. Clients have slashed marketing budgets and in some cases eliminated marketing function entirely, which is having a devastating effect on Nielsen contract renewals and new sales. General Electric style HR policies require managers to fire and replace 20% of staff annually.

Pros

Good benefits, great "just out of college" job.

Cons

If you can find a manager within Nielsen with whom you work well, you'll advance your career and be happy....otherwise, you're likely to be miserable. Be prepared to look at other positions within the company in order to make that happen because the great managers are few.

Pros

stability, company car, good mid level management, paid internet at home, work from home, great co workers and solid benefits.

Cons

the pay can be a little higher for some jobs, but it is more than a lot of other places. Dont take this (or any) job if you don't like change.
