Pros

-Work with high profile clients in FMCG solving their business problems -Ability to work on global projects

Cons

-Low pay for the level of employees they want to hire with a business model willing to let go of high-performing employees for cheaper new workers. Do not come here if you are a motived, high-performing person. You will be taken advantage of and not see any reward for your hard work. -Poor work/life balance. Expect to work long hours. Especially if you are in an analyst position as most work is passed down to you. -High stress as Nielsen continually accepts work without having the necessary workforce to handle the requests. -Slow and outdated software with many bugs. -A lot of work is being outsourced with little feedback from management how that will affect the US staff. I expect that their will be layoffs/firing in the US staff as outsourcing continues. -Salary and Hiring freeze has caused a lot of discontent in the workforce causing low morale
