Pros

Proprietary products and regional cooperation across industry practice groups promote higher learning curve. Global brand makes it highly recognizable across countries Innovative techniques that address evolving client needs

Cons

Long hours at work since Company tends to accept client projects without investing in the necessary resources or structures that would enable teams to deliver efficiently. Working with long-standing senior management people who are not open to stretching existing boundaries to challenge outdated practices and processes Lack of corrective action to address quality issues in operational outputs. Insignificant check and balance procedures Management overhauls during the last 10 years has caused too many senior management people jumping ship and new faces suddenly appearing in newsbytes -- it's a bit hard to track who's doing what now these days given all these exits and entrances

Pros

Working at Nielsen Bulgaria does not give you too much stress and this makes it a good place to start getting some professional experience. Individual efforts are noticed and appreciated, and if one is particularly talented, there are opportunities for growth within the company.

Cons

The senior management at Nielsen Bulgaria was inadequate. They failed to provide for the Bulgarian branch not one bit. The pay is terrible. It is ok if you're fresh out of school, no family and no other job to take, but it's way below standard pay in Sofia. Chances to have your salary increased are zero. The only raises are the annual raises to offset the inflation for the previous year. The atmosphere is sometimes terrible. Mostly women work there and sometimes it turns into a wasp nest of gossip and intrigues. Turnover is huge as conditions are so bad people try to leave as soon as they can. For the period I was working there the number of clients kept increasing, while the number of workers went down. Workload increased substantially, and no compensation was offered for the increased workload. No benefits or perks whatsoever except free coffee.
