      Pros

      Good salaries, flexible work schedule. They tend to pay higher then most companies the area and do allow you to work from home sometimes.

      Cons

      Backstabbing, will cut you loose with not a care in the world, no loyalty, they don't care about their clients, just the bottom line for the investors. Don't go to work here if you want career growth or job stability.

      Pros

      Integration is being promoted and market share is being regained. The company is investing in assets that are worth investment. The company is transforming into offering a higher value proposition for its clients; overall, client focus is being regained. Additionally, is on the frontline of market dynamics and a good place to understand what's going on in the world of marketing and how companies and their brands are shaping up. In short, if you are on the client service side there are plenty of opportunities to learn.

      Cons

      A consulting approach and mindset is being instilled; however, the company is only demonstrating a half hearted training approach. For example, new competitive tools are being developed to answer client questions and to spot issues that clients may not realize, yet, the potential of these tools is not being shown in a broad based way through training. A complete understanding of the marketplace is possible but not pushed the way that it could. In the aspect of training, Nielsen is underserving. And a pernicious problem of the company is the lack of diversity, particularly, ethnic diversity in key positions within the company.

      good potential, but not an inspiring place for many

      Pros

      some parts of Nielsen have good growth potential and culture; the possibilities to combine products across business units make for interesting consultancy and custom solutions. integration has been a goal since the VNU days but only now it is picking up steam.

      Cons

      recognition culture is missing. outsourcing trends are understandable but disturbing as resulting quality is slow to improve; company is trying to push integration at the same time, so lots of change for employees to absorb, they are frustrated and things can feel a bit directionless. acquired business units with an entrepreneurial culture having difficulty fitting into a bigger organization. communication around crisis actions, layoffs etc has not been inspiring.
