      Pros

      reasonable reputation in market place but this is being diminished some great people who care, are competent and are hard working

      Cons

      the most senior management, Calhoun especially, are out of touch with the realities of this business and industry. They seem only focused on flipping the company and making as much as possible for themselves. I mean, really, did Dave really need another sign-on bonus? And one that was $3 million! Come on!

      If you want workers to be loyal than the company has to show loyalty in return

      Cons

      Management is out of touch with lower level employees People are too obsessed with power and are scared of losing their jobs Nielsen keeps laying off skilled people and replacing with younger less expensive workers

      Go, Dave! Go!

      Senior vice president

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some really good people (but not so in senior management)

      Cons

      The narrow focus of the very senior management on the IPO and their earn-outs means that no long term consideration is being given to the health of the company. Senior management are either Dave's cronies or suck-ups, wannabes of Dave's Kool-Aid
