Nielsen Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Good company to work for."

"I have been at Nielsen for the past two years. During my time I have seen growth in my position and responsibilities, but at this point, my role has stagnated. I would like to see more movement as well, where those who go above and beyond the aspects of their roles are rewarded. It seems that politics play a heavy role in the workings of this company. I had been told by previous colleagues that people do not get promoted until at least two years. Fortunately, I was forthright and early enough to receive it earlier. Although the process of getting promoted took over nine months and I had been misled by management a number of times. Overall, Nielsen provides a great working environment and incredible work-life balance, but people there lack intrinsic motivation to succeed and the company moves at a slow pace. I think that as an initial launching point it is great to have a company like Nielsen on your resume as it is a company most people will recognize, but don't see much value staying longer than two years."
