Cons
- Bad Salary. Nielsen takes advantage from its position in Market Research industry paying miserable salaries, even when the work that you do is a qualified job like Data Mining and SAS development. - Management: In most cases Nielsen has a poor management. The above is in the position an employee, less is his/her known both internal and external needs. - IT: Data security has a poor standard. It's really easy to hack their sql databases. Some IT employees leave user and passwords in open text files which are in public folders, which is a madness for any IT people. Integration: Nielsen differents' areas has no connection between them. It's almost impossible to ask for cooperation some areas, specially the ones regarding internal data, which is needed to do your work.
