Company had promise, but not much else.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some interesting technologies being worked on, especially with their blog and web board data mining systems. A few smart and hard-working people lurk in the offices.

Cons

Extremely political and poisonous atmosphere. Upper "management" is dysfunctional and not really managing much of anything except their own careers. If this condition persists, Nielsen Online will have their lunch eaten by other scrappier and more tech-savvy competitors.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of smart people and interesting projects. Memories of good times in the past and hopeful anticipation of a post-Habib future seem to sustain people.

Cons

Constantly being squeezed for more. The place is overrun by H1B visa workers and layoffs seem to never end. American staffers are constantly worried that they'll be the next ones asked to train their Indian replacements.
