      Pros

      Smart people Dedicated people Good work/life balance The old Nielsen people had a sense of dedication and honor. The new management brought in by Dave Calhoun not so much honor.

      Cons

      Dave Calhoun is making decisions that will get him to his $100 million payout.. Unfortunately, that means screw the employees and products long terms. It's all about the money, Dave's money. Head of Operations actually laughed on a conference call about all the people he was going to lay off. Kind of shows you how cold the new management is.

      Pros

      Some nice people; Work can be interesting and varied. Great for a college leaver, but no place for folks looking for long-term employment

      Cons

      Atmosphere of fear; little communication from management; obsessed with cost cutting; not interested enough in quality; too much short term thinking - pure private equity.

      Pros

      Company car,Laptop,Blackberry,internet,flex schedule somewhat.Vacation time off is good. The co-workers are great to work with.

      Cons

      Low pay,Mass lay-offs,out of touch senior management,Outsourcing AMERICAN jobs to third world countries??? Most of all the worry of losing your job with no advance notice. Here today gone tomorrow kind of enviroment. Senior management needs to get a reality check on how this company works. How quickly they forget how they got to their current postion.
