Pros
Apart from the tech side, Nielsen Media is a really good company. Audience measurement is an exciting and interesting space to work in. If you are joining Nielsen Media outside the tech team, there’s nothing to worry about.
Cons
1. The technology department is in a bad state. 2. Even a fresher needs CTO approval to work from home for just one day. 3. From April 2026, the tech team will be required to work from office five days a week. 4. There was a recent round of layoffs that affected about 10% of employees, only in the tech department. 5. What’s surprising is that it hasn’t even been two years since the GCC was set up and layoffs have already started, which goes against earlier leadership decisions. 6. All of this applies only to the technology team, other departments are still mostly remote and rarely come to the office.
