      Great Learning but work life balance is non-existent

      Executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Challenging work with the opportunity to learn a great amount about Marketing.

      Cons

      The work load in Nielsen is really poorly managed. Official hours are 9.00am-5.30pm, but you will often work up until 11pm on most nights. In addition to that, working over weekends is very common. The compensation package (salary) is below average and when the amount of hours are factored in, it is not even worth it.

      A company with a great future behind it

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a very interesting business. The pay scale is average to Ok. Management has laid-off most of the unattractive people and replaced them with younger, cheaper, more attractive people (I know this sounds like a rant but it's bizarrely true). The company is big enough that it survived the leveraged buyout.

      Cons

      Dilbert in action. Nielsen is in a continuous layoff mode (US employees only) while TCS effectively runs the IT department (since they can't be fired). If you are considering a job in the IT department, RUN, don't walk away.

      A very uninspiring place to work

      Senior analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Brand name, exposure to large clients, global company.

      Cons

      Terrible morale, problems with attrition, uninspiring middle-managers, lack of transparency, extremely bureaucratic, inflated titles, noncompetitive salaries, too much micromanagement.
