I see posts from people here that say they left Nielsen and they are happier and/or they earn more money at their new jobs. Some of you even say that you've "found freedom". For those of us that are looking for work it would be really helpful if... — read more 

If there was a class on destroying mental health, this place would teach it. They've got every technique down. The pressure, the uncertainty, the constant moving targets. It's impressive in a horrible way.

One of the most fascinating management models I’ve seen recently is the “mutual admiration club.” A small leadership circle hires each other, promotes each other, and then gives each other outstanding performance ratings. Meanwhile, the people... — read more 

Q1 is bad, really bad. GCC plans messed up bigly. Hope the customers have alternative currency to go to.

No one's even pretending to steer anymore. Just managed decline, slow and steady. Layoffs forever, now reaching offshore too. There's hardly any core left, both among employees and leadership, that could pull off a turnaround, if that was ever the... — read more 

One of the perks of being in a toxic workplace that has experienced massive layoffs is that you have a large alumni network of people who have left and figured it out. We are here for you... willing to give recommendations, referrals and share our... — read more 

Feels like Nielsen just handed almost 30 years of experience to the competitor and paid for the privelige. That’s PE management.

There has been a huge GCC based layoff in India today, laid off employees in India were given decent severance but they were immediately escorted out of the office with security guards.

All the top leaders, top contributors have mostly been kicked out or left, there is a real knowledge gap, quality issues, and continuous layoffs that's forcing basically leftover seasoned employees out. How will this company run ? How will it ever... — read more 

Nielsen announced the COO resigned for personal reasons then the stock market immediately plummets. Lowest than ever: around 12 dollars.

Adios Amigos!

Nielsen is posting Ads for day-care operators in Minnesota. Experience in fraud detection avoidance is the only skill requirement. Rao and his PE buddies found a business model that brings in revenue without expenses!!

Heard there is another wave of layoff coming in Early Feb hitting US and India - GCC, anyone know anything about this ? Ironically GCC folks are scrambling for safety after taking away American jobs

Around 15% of the entire labour force is being made redundant. Those who joined two to four years ago are particularly affected, with no replacements being offered, and every department is impacted. The good news is that they are being slightly more... — read more

As a nosey laid-off PRS, I want to know how the “new” PRS group is doing. Anyone from the field or ROC, feel free to chime in. I know the quality has to be atrocious, unless they REALLY reeled it in. How are the panelists responding to not having... — read more 

I was laid off at the end of last year and have since landed a new job, so I’m in a good place. Still, getting contacted and encouraged to reapply at Nielsen completely threw me off. The role sounds very close to what I used to do, which makes it... — read more 

Ratings across 158 TV networks are down this year by an average of 18% to 30% under Nielsen’s new Big Data + Panel measurement, the Video Advertising Bureau (VAB) told The Current. The declines in the highly prized 25 to 54 demographic — now at... — read more 

What's your prediction as it relates to the possiblity of Nielsen layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

So I’ve been gone a year now as a field rep and when I left SMP had just rolled out. I remember having to adapt to the new hybrid position but was curious how much has changed since then. I do know reps had to take on quite a few more homes and... — read more

Your layoff help David Kenny and Karthik Rao have a more joyous holiday! Give thanks!!

After SA operations shutdown more EU subsidiaries (Cyprus, Greece, Ireland) will shutdown their operations as company management cares about their bonuses and their own interests. Any thoughts on this?

Just heard of a handful of long time employees that were let go.
