Pros

This is a large organization where you can easily become a number. That said, if you have proven ability, yuu can shine within this organization. I have work with many good people at the organization, but much depends on the division you work in and the profitability of the division.

Cons

This is a LARGE organization where if you are not in a high profile position you might not be given the opportunity for advancement that other receive.

A good stepping stone

Pros

The research is interesting, if perhaps a little shaky. The Nielsen brand name, however, certainly opens doors going forward. The client mix is good, and it enjoys a good reputation.

Cons

The culture is rather cut-throat, and not even honestly so. They maintain a hire-divide-promote/fire-hire new management philosophy that cycles people through very quickly, all the while pretending to be nurturing to career growth. Criticism is generally "sink or swim". Those that excel are very talented and intelligent, but perhaps a little narrowly focused. Emphasis is on production, rather than problem solving for clients.
