Pros

The people are incredibly smart, driven, and its an energetic environment. The career growth and opportunities are endless in this Meritocracy environment. The organization places a strong emphasis on its values for its employees and for its clients. Due to it being a global company, opportunity to work from home is very common for many roles. Nielsen is a very cross functional environment and you have the opportunity to interact with a lot of different functions within the business.

Cons

Some positions require a significant amount of travel which can at times impact work/life balance but it is a flexible environment.

Pros

The remote work in the US is great, and the truly flexible PTO is good. They do seem to care about DE&I and inclusion.

Cons

Since the acquisition by private equity in 2021, it's been a long slide downhill with constant layoffs. They have offshored the majority of the staff to India and Mexico, and are focused on cutting costs with no clear strategy. The technical teams seem to trying to turn Nielsen into an AI first company, which is having a detrimental effect on panel and data quality. So many wonderful and talented people have been laid off. Raises and promotions were also indiscriminately paused with no clear communication on when they would return.
