Pros
Colleagues, diversity and inclusion, networking groups.
Cons
The company has had many organizational changes to the point where it's difficult to get anything done. Management is constantly changing the strategy and they are losing clients left and right ever since they lost Kroger (The # grocer in the U.S.) Technology challenges also make it difficult to work there as clients are constantly frustrated by the tech issues. Across Retail, Manufacturing, and the Practice Areas, they are continually reducing resources and putting more accounts on each person. I know one associate who had 40 accounts put on her. Yet they still expect these folks to drive value and build client relationships while juggling all the heavy account management work and fire drills across the clients. Company has transformed into a completely "sales oriented" culture. It's no longer about caring about clients but more about selling selling selling. Not about giving their teams the bandwidth and tools to drive or add value, even though they tell their associates to do that as well, on top of heavy delivery, account management work, a lot of red tape, and broken processes .Clients see that, and that is why they are all leaving Nielsen.
