Pros

Working with senior leadership within the company have improved my career opportunities within this company. I really like the recognition I get from senior management in creating ownership of my current role. Although the company is retracting from bad economy and re-organization have brought a lot of negative press, I feel this company is making the tough decision to try to work leaner and stay competitive.

Cons

The massive portfolio of services this company provide is really confusing. Thus, integration is not as smooth as it sounds. All of the re-organization have caused even more confusion. Finding the right balance is the key to bring simplicity into the myriads of information we provide.

Pros

Absolutley nothing. Which is a tragedy, because Nielsen was once an absolutely great place to work. I wanted to retire here. The culture used to be great, and I really loved being a part of this place. I loved my team, my management, and the people. Then along came the current CEO who is the classic example of a person who knows the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. He took over and ran the company full speed ahead in to the iceberg. And to try and save the sinking ship, he laid off literally thousands of highly experienced, highly trained, and highly engaged people to replace them with fresh overseas hires who know nothing about the company and expect them to be trained from the ground up to replace literally centuries of collective expererience and client relations. It's a disaster. This CEO shouldn't be trusted to run a lemonade stand.

Cons

Everything. Pay, job security, culture, management. Nothing is good here anymore. Don't take a job here unless you are truly desperate. And even then, it should only be as a stop-gap until you can find something else.
