I enjoyed my contract assignment at this job. Everybody was friendly and caring.

I did data entry work and learned quite a bit about television and advertizing in how they used our finished product. Management was great. Most of the workers are retirees because the office I worked at was a part-time office.

I worked for Nielsen's Ad Solutions department for 8 months after speaking with a campus recruiter. The work was straightforward, if not exactly stimulating, and there was little effort by management to move part time employees to full time positions.

The company hires degree-holding college graduates at a non-negotiable rate of $10/hour, and offers – more... no benefits or vacation time. Additionally, holidays & a day of weekend work was mandatory for many employees.

Other than the paltry compensation, the position wasn't bad. The work environment was pleasant, and there were many groups and clubs that would hold events & service days at the office.

Overall I would recommend Nielsen as a company, but be sure to have a plan to advance, or risk your career languishing. – less

A typical day at work is to encode all the data what we had seen on the Program as well as the commercials on Television.
I learned a lot of this company as more productive, efficient, more responsible and being a work-oriented and I gain my speed test as well.
My co-workers are all cooperative, they are all responsible and friendly and work-oriented – more... as well.
The hardest part of the job is when we had an experiences a problem in VCR meaning it is a recording of all the channels on the television and sometimes it will not recorded that can cause problem of delaying of works.
The most enjoyable part is when were having an events like seminars, sports, gathering. We felt that we are one family. – less

Nielsen Company is one of the biggest names in Market Research and it works according to its reputation.

Extremely Client Centric Organisation which tries to always add value to the client and it's business

I always like – more... to associate the business benefit of the work that I do and I enjoy that a lot with my Boss and co-workers

Brainstorming, BPI and PMO has given me key advantage in solving any type of client problems and providing with amicable solution. – less

Hectic & fun at work where time just flies as the work is really interesting. The management is very friendly & encouraging, gives a lot of support to take decisions single handedly. Colleagues at Nielsen were a part of a family. Though the job was tough & hard it is the challenges that made me go on & achieve targets. I enjoy challenges & Nielsen gave – more... that to me. – less

Simple job not much else to say, answering phones messages from previous day or weekend, lots of emails

Typical day at work involved numerous meetings with other analysts, product leadership, team, developers and testing to complete new requirements and confirm development is on correct path.

Great environment and the people are very nice and professional.

I would drive to the household that I was required to sign and convince them to participate in the nielsen program, sometimes it will take several attempts and different days and times until i find them at home and make sure they participate.
I learned so much about the different cultures, adapt to different situations and to always be patient and persistent – more... and to keep a positive attitude even in negative situations.
Co-workers and manager, great people , excellent relationship with them.
The hard part was that sometimes you would have to visit buildings that are a little dangerous.
What enjoy the most was having the opportunity to meet people interact with different cultures , learn from them and of course the moment i would sign them, cause what i enjoy the most is to achieve my goals. – less

Learned a lot in team management, time management
Co-workers are good
Hardest part of the job is field management
Most enjoyable part report preparation

Your typical day of work is being on the phones working with the panelists and resolving issues with their scanners and online surveys. Its a very monotonous job. Not much room for advancement opportunites. Pay is very low, but it is a very laid back low pressure environement. The most youll find annoying about the job is when you get back to back calls – more... all for the same thing. A few more dollars and some decent benefits would make the job a lot better. – less

good support from juniors,seniors and management, I have enjoyed job security in this company

I really enjoyed working at Nielsen. I was working in the MSci team and my work involved a lot of digging from scratch. For example, I had no experience with big data and my manager trusted me with a setting up a multi node Hadoop cluster. Next, I worked on a fun computer vision project related to using the Microsoft Kinect as a passive people meter – more... (observing people as they watch television). – less
