Pros

Depending on the area, most people work from home. This can be a con if you are new to the company and want to build relationships with co-workers. Great place to START your career and gain valuable experience and knowledge. Take this experience and go somewhere that will value you.

Cons

I have seen many changes over my three decades working for Nielsen. The last ten years have been a revolving door with layoffs every 6 mos. Nielsen does not value it's employees only the bottom line. They use to care what employee thought. The company used to have annual reviews of themselves where every employee is encouraged to participate in review the company and department they contribute to. This allowed the company to look at areas for improvement. This is no longer a priority. They are trying to be a technology company and failing miserably as they don't have a clue. Do not build something expecting clients to buy into it, There is no integrity as they will promise the client things they know they cannot deliver.

Pros

Nielsen is extremely flexible. When my husband moved to rural Pennsylvania - an area with few opportunities for a market researcher - Nielsen volunteered to fly me to my client every other week, allowing me to continue working with my team. Another woman had a baby and needed to work part time. Nielsen made it happen. I have also met some of my best friends at the company, including my husband. The team environment is truly fantastic. Also... we have so much data! So fun!

Cons

It can be difficult to manage work life balance in the divisions that rely on ad hoc revenue, though this is certainly not the case everywhere. In my current role - in a division where the revenue is contracted - I regularly work forty hours a week.

Pros

Some quality people to work with. Company has a couple products where it is still the best in. Flexibility with working from home.

Cons

Employee retention. Core businesses are being disrupted by competitors, slowing business. Areas that used to be growing are struggling. Not an innovative company.
