how's it going for the field reps that are in that pilot with changing daily field work and appointments? Any news if they're adding more markets? And if this could lead to reduction in work force?
Sudden layoff
They suddenly deactivated my account without anyone warning me. I was working on an important project and have a delivery next month. I know there are various layoffs happening in Europe, but usually they warn you before canceling your account. Has... — read more
The international environment is slowly declining
With mass layoffs in US, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, and elsewhere, the question arises whether the sinking Titanic will manage to stay afloat. All international operations are currently halted. Without vision and without progress... "Cu è surdu, orbu... — read more

The BBB
Has anyone checked out the reviews and complaints on the BBB website regarding Nielsen? It’s actually quite entertaining but at the same time I’m ashamed for what this company has become.
Townhall
Why was the Townhall canceled? There are several rumors about why they keep canceling the TH (3 times since June). they are cooking something up. A potential IPO? Maybe not. Poor Q2 numbers? What else?
Canceled Townhall and more layoffs
It feel like the European markets has become the last target. Managers, mid level engineers and data scientists are being laid off like leaves falling in autumn. The way it is being handled makes it seem like they want to abandon much of the... — read more

I wish I'd been cut
I made it through the layoff the last few times and now I'm drowning in everyone else's work.
Layoffs don't have to be a bad thing
If leadership cut the actual dead weight, it could make us stronger. But that's not what happens. They keep laying off key people from critical roles. The ones who keep things running and the ones who solve problems. And they keep the ones who don't... — read more
What happend to Nielsen?
I retired from Nielsen 5+ years ago. A former coworker pointed me to this site, so I'm out of the loop. I only ended up on the careers page because my son just graduated with an engineering degree, and I thought the Oldsmar facility would be a great... — read more
This place will eat your personal life alive
There is no such thing as a team here. You work in isolation and only hear from management when you messed up. Climbing past a certain point is impossible and they offer zero support for learning anything new. Do not put yourself through this. Your... — read more

You don't have to settle for this

Nielsen IQ stock price continues its decline
Trading under $8.50/share. Its IPO price was $20/share less than a year ago. Demon David Kenny riding a wave of su-ksess.
The more things change....
For some reason, and don't ask...lol...I did a random Nielsen search on reddit, and sure enough the first thing that came up was an 18yr old thread from back in the day during the original Nielsen demolition by Calhoun/Habib regarding their "genius"... — read more
Karthik hates radio!!!
Wow, this article triggered me! Why? For decades radio measurement was exclusive to Arbitron. Much like Nielsen, they were considered a monolopy. The thought of Nielsen one day buying Arbitron thus hoarding both TV/Radio measurement was unheard... — read more
Nielsen isn't dead!
I spent close to two decades at Nielsen before my "demise." The one thing I could say for Nielsen during all those years was the company was NOT going to go under! Lol. So many companies out there hang on by a string - and that's some real stress... — read more

yeah... a "glitch.." right

Fear is the culture
Nielsen has always run on fear. Intimidation is standard. And the PIP is their favorite tool. You have to leave your dignity at the door to work here.
Dr-g Testing
I wonder how panelists would feel if they knew that the Field Reps going into their homes, and driving through their neighborhoods are not dr-g tested? Huge liability for Nielsen as many of their field employees are under the influence at work... — read more

Not another surprise. Turns out Nielsen was measuring it wrong?? https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/413483/nielsen-to-correct-er-i-mean-methodologically-i.html

Worst decisions to have leadership reigns outside the U.S.
No layoffs today?
I see there were cuts yesterday, can we consider that done?
