      Pros

      It is a career. The benefits are great and the company is good. Until the recent layoffs everything about Nielsen was for the employees.

      Cons

      The current layoffs and out sourcing. Out sourcing has become a way of business and the community suffers from that as do the employees. People here (at Nielsen) are nervous for their jobs and are stressed out about the out amount of out sourcing going on in this company.

      Pros

      A sense of history and accomplishment among those who have been here for a while. A chance to work on new and exciting projects as Nielsen moves into measurement of new media.

      Cons

      A downbeat atmosphere as some longtime employees are let go or leave.

      Pros

      Good place to get some training and name recognition before leaving. You can get your foot in the door on the client side once you have the Nielsen name on your resume. It's also easy to go to another consulting firm that uses Nielsen data (but those firms are often bad places to work).

      Cons

      BASES, the unit I worked, has some long hours and is insulated from the rest of the company. At BASES, the best you can hope for is VP and that takes around 8 years. The forecasting is a bit sketchy. Sometimes numbers are made up and the adjustments are made on a manager's whim or "intuition"
