Pros

A company which encourages personal growth and development, and gives opportunities to its associates. Also very supportive of individual needs, as was demonstrated throughout the pandemic, and continuing to offer flexibility and fostering a culture of trust.

Cons

Just like any large businesses, processes can require patience.

Pros

A lot of good people work here

Cons

I never felt like Nielsen could deliver what they were getting paid for, but it is better than nothing (just not a lot of pride in what we could deliver)
