Pros
Great people at the lower levels of the enterprise. Salary + are above market.
Cons
Turnover/appreciation. There's an undercurrent of frustration that is palpable. The acquisitions of TARGUSinfo and others continue to cause rifts... as legacy Neustar management doesn't value the acquired leadership. This is a demanding place to work and a positive work culture is non-existent.
Advice to Management
Focus on your single most important asset.. your current employees.

Pros
Caring environment pre private equity. Reasonable talented board
Cons
Confused portfolio, lack of understanding of asset portfolio and inability to execute a cohesive strategy
Advice to Management
Since PE has bought out the company consolidation and refocus is occurring. Pick a direction and go all in on it.

Pros
Neustar pays well and has long had good benefits. Managers understood the need for a good family/work life balance. Really enjoyed the people I worked with from bottom to top.
Cons
The company is at a point of major change, having lost half of its revenues, while essentially trying to complete its remake from a telecom support to a marketing analytics company. In other words, there is scrambling to make up for lost revenues and some confusion as to what lines of business will stay and which should go, but maybe this has changed some under the new CEO. There were definitely silos, but much of that seemed to be within old acquisitions that were never successfully folded into the company.
Advice to Management
Figure out what you want to do and get all your acquisitions pulling in the same direction. You likely need to skinny down even more to do it. Best of luck.

"Nice people, great benefits"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Neustar full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Good work/life balance, great people, solid benefits.
Cons
Too many changes at the executive level. Not enough focus on improving core product. Way too many distractions around finding a new buyer and making financials "look good" to make folks feel like they were building anything that really mattered long term.
