      Beware work overload in IT

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - A lot of people got fired in IT/Ops over the last 3 years, so more opportunities for those still there. - More and more global IT projects, still a lot to learn. - Those who enjoy travelling will love Nielsen. - You have to work hard but doers, ultimately, will be rewarded.

      Cons

      - A lot of people got fired in IT/Ops over the last 3 years, so more work for those left. Beware the burn-out. - Better follow the process and be compliant. New management loves reporting and scorecoards. - TCS is everywhere. Better love the Indians. - Nielsen is great for banding Senior Manager and above, bad for employees below: TCS will ultimately take your job!

      Great early learning process; but questionable long-term.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly atmosphere, lots of young people, good understanding of work/life balance. Good name recognition of the company. Excellent reputation with clients. Direct engagement with clients, and a lot of responsibility, relatively early in career. In general you learn a lot in your first 2-3 years, but after that it just seems like more of the same, unless you get tapped to help lead a foreign office or get moved into another role/division within the larger company.

      Cons

      Crappy 401k matching (also requires 3 years of service to vest). Salary freeze in effect all year so far; talk of "reevaluation" come 2010, but no firm commitments on lifting it. Relatively crappy office locations, with the exception of the HQ in NYC and maybe some of the european offices.
