Pros
Some of the best reasons to work for The Nielsen Company revolve around its prestige in data and analytics in the Market Research and media community, its global presence, and it's cliental. Nielsen services some of the largest players in the global economy especially in FMCG. Also working here you'll learn a lot in a short period of time about retailers and manufacturers and the important factors that go into thier business decisions.
Cons
Currently The Nielsen Company is in a restructuring phase which includes a lot of upper management changing positions, and there has been a focus on integration of all the business groups of Nielsen. This integration also referred to as "One Voice" has not transitioned smoothly where many of the business groups still act in silos. Be prepared to spend more than 40 hours a week in your position with demanding managers and clients with stringent deadlines. Another downside of The Nielsen Company includes the steep learning curve in terms of methodology of the products offered.
