Pluspunten

The Nielsen company is a great place for someone to start their career right out of college. You can gain an immense amount of knowledge about the consumer package goods industry that is applicable to many different companies and industries.

Minpunten

Unfortunately, Nielsen was purchased by a private equity firm whose only goals are to suck every dime of cost out of the company. They have used the poor economic environment as an excuse to further reduce benefits and compensation and outsourced a large number of jobs. As a fellow associate always says, they are penny wise and pound foolish. They have reduced staffing levels and allowed the infrastructure to degrade to a critical and dangerous point.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
