Pros

Outstanding benefits for full-time employees.

Cons

Current move to Six Sigma process means all jobs are at permanent risk of outsourcing. Local community has lost over 300 jobs in the past year. One terminated employee, according to the St. Petersburg Times, was a 79 year-old woman who after 16 years of service to Nielsen was escorted from the building without an opportunity to gather her belongings or say goodbye to co-workers.

Pros

It is a different company after private equity vultures took over the company. Morale was really low when I quit and is much worse now. There are lots of discussions about Nielsen by the current employees at the topix blog. moving those discussions here will be more helpful.

Cons

Right now, due to the outsourcing and overall mismanagement by the executives there is no reason for any one to continue to work at Nielsen. Two years of outsourcing to India has created a xenophobic attitude among the current employees and it will be hard for any one new to work there.
