      Pros

      The employees are all positive and friendly, it is definately a positive working environment. There is plenty of room to move up in the corporation. Nielsen is global so if you work hard in your position it may open up a door to many other opportunities. Nieslen has an open door policy and for the most part communication from management is pretty open. There are always Town Hall meetings that keep all employees up to speed on the changes in our fast processing company, even if those changes include corporate restructures (firings). Nielsen is the largest media research firm period. If you work for Nielsen, you have a lot to be proud of, the company has a great reputation.

      Cons

      The main downside of working for Nielsen is that if you work your hardest everyday and achieve success, you usually don't get recognized for your contributions to the company. How do you boost morale? I don't know but figure it out.

      Pros

      Working with senior leadership within the company have improved my career opportunities within this company. I really like the recognition I get from senior management in creating ownership of my current role. Although the company is retracting from bad economy and re-organization have brought a lot of negative press, I feel this company is making the tough decision to try to work leaner and stay competitive.

      Cons

      The massive portfolio of services this company provide is really confusing. Thus, integration is not as smooth as it sounds. All of the re-organization have caused even more confusion. Finding the right balance is the key to bring simplicity into the myriads of information we provide.

      The Real Deal about Nielsen

      Pros

      The on the job training at Nielsen was very benefical to associated when it was available. "Nielsen University" offered both Computer Based Training as well as Classroom training which helped with associate development. In addition to the training and development the the associates at Nielsen are real people and were always very nice. Everyone shared common goals so it made for a fun place to work. Most offices had outings or functions that would get associates all together under 1 roof so you got to know the other side of someone who sat across from you or across the office from you. Lastly, the name "ACNielsen" goes a long way everyone knows about or as heard of the Nielsen ratings.

      Cons

      The downside of working at ACNielsen or at any corporation for that matter was the annual raises. Typically the raises averaged between 2-4% and sometimes were based on how company faired for that given year. I don't know what the range is today but when I was there 2 years ago that was what an employee had to look forward too after working hard all year long. If you were lucky enough to be bonus eligible you were entitled to your bonus after you worked for the full year - however you didn't receive your bonus check until March of the following year!!!!!!
