Pros

Remote work, loved my team members

Cons

I was laid off after 13 months of being there and there were 2 lay offs in that time. The team I was hired to be on was completely dissolved within 6 months of me being there. New team had no direction after the first round of lay offs took out crucial roles for their daily functioning. Felt like I was hired to be laid off. Upper management I personally dealt with was very socially awkward and difficult to work with- this was not necessarily their fault but lack of emotional intelligence and basic sociability was rough to deal with in terms of communication. Also the health insurance is the worst I’ve ever had and Nielsen is by far the biggest company I’ve ever worked for.

Pros

Flexibility in work hours Lots of health improvement programs Interesting work

Cons

After the recent purchase of the company by investors there were a lot of cut backs and layoffs, which was not surprising, but there is no slowing down. Employees that were retained are struggling to deal with all the added work with less resources. The company has way too many managers and it appears that more were added during the recent reorg's. This is causing a lot of micro-management. The amount of meetings each day is ridiculous and leaves little time to perform critical work.
