Pros

They don't care where you work and whether you show up to the office

Cons

Pretty much everything else. - VERY VERY HIGH turnaround. There is no loyalty in this company. Your entire team could be sold off or laid off at anytime. I've seen it countless times. It's a very transactional business and anyone could stab you in the back. - Everyone is underpaid compared to industry standard. For the same position/title/job, you'll at least get 20% more elsewhere. Have seen 50% in some cases. - Everything has a policy. Bureaucratic environment. HR deals with BS rather than actual important stuff. Worst HR ever dealt with in my career. - Hiring is highly questionable. Have seen a lot off aholes getting hired. Bullying others is a common thing. The more you bully, the more you go up the rank. - Most VPs and SVPs are just sticking with the status quo. They are just clocking in and out. Don't expect to learn from them or for them to change things around.

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.
