Business Outlook

Pros

Nielsen media as an organisation offers good workplace in terms of culture and flexibility . However AM tech vertical is bad in culture and agility because of poor leadership style.

Cons

CTO is a dictators with no clear vision . Always work on hire and fire strategy. limited opportunity to grow. Frequent restructuring, silent lay-offs (no performance reasons). AM tech is the worst department to join.
