This is what happens... for Nielsen it will be slower since there is no customer facing product but the end result will be there nonetheless... BTW, did you ever trust David Kenny, his only job while you were bursting your a-s was to sell the... — read more 

I have just downloaded their sustainability report. Page 27 has some interesting figures on human capital especially those on staff and staff location and turnover. Also, the way they talk about the Voice Survey from last year like a big success... — read more

I came here thinking it would open doors, but it’s been a grind with no real connection to leadership. Fear runs the place, and playing politics seems more important than doing good work. I’m already planning my next move out of here.

I really dislike the tone of the RTO discussion in the AM Town Hall this morning. Doesn't Nielsen management know that Nielsen will lose high-performing employees to companies that allow working from home? I think it is already... — read more

It used to deserve your full effort, but the current leadership treats employees with zero respect, and that’s exactly how much they deserve back.

I started with Nielsen in the early 2000's and at that time they had a retirement annuity program vis Fidelity. Dave Calhoun was quick to end that bad boy asap once he raided the place in 2006. I'm long gone from Nielsen but I still have this small... — read more 

Does anyone know if there will be more TAM Layoffs coming now that everyone's been given a new title?

I heard that Nielsen once again is going cheap and has further cut severance payout calculations. Where you used to get 1.5 weeks per year of service, they had cut that to 1 week per year. Have they cut that even more? Capped it after a certain... — read more 

Question for some of the smarter folks in the crowd. Nielsen has an automated system employees can use for employment verification, called The Work Number. My question is, is it legal for Nielsen to list a current employee’s employment status as... — read more

FYI... The Rebel Alliance is alive and well....:)

Welp, the investor geniuses' IPO is a bust. Stocks like FIGMA take off after their IPO. NIQ stock is drooping like Rao's di*k after a 3 day coke binge. Ki-ling the company and dumping its corpse on the retail investor doesn't work like it used to... — read more 

I see a lot of pretty good jobs available. I've been gone for a long time but always interesting to see what the pay scale is vs. when I worked for the company. I was grossly underpaid for many years and apparently never really knew it. Lol My... — read more 

Is there news on MRC audits since move to GCC? Quality is not good so accreditation is risk.

Either the company is dead or people don't care anymore since there hasn't been any posts here recently.

Anyone laid off told they would loae severance if they started a new job before the last check was issued? Anyone recently told they can seek new employment and still collect their severance pay? Anyone still have an unresolved S**call harassment... — read more 

Has Nielsen set a final date for when they will finish firing all remaining US workers and replace them with cheat Mexican, Polish and Indian workers?

What do you restructure when there is nothing left?...thoughts?

Ready to go at the end of October. Of course, we have to train our replacement. We got told in a 15-minutes call. But hey, they care about your mental head!

PRS here, I was one of the lucky groups being asked to stay through August (yay me) and watch as everything we built gets toppled to the ground. They have left morning shift PRS’ to one or two on the phones for the first few hours of being open per... — read more 

I recently witnessed a huge code of conduct incident but it had nothing to do with me directly. Dies anyone feel like they have been laid off due to retaliation for narking someone out for breaking the code we just got trained on?

Nielsen completely changed the Field Representative position by adding Membership Representative duties to it. The pay remains exactly the same except for $100 bonus per install if it goes QFM which can stop at anytime since it's not part of the... — read more 

So they laid off a bunch of Product people who have been here a long time and then posted open Product roles in the US today. Age 40+ is a protected class, so…

Is there a similar thread for NielsenIQ?

Nielsen never ceased to amaze me with their lack of competence. I’ll start off with my three favorites. Receiving a coloring book and colored pencils for a year of leadership support with their BRG programs. Receiving a money tree (live tree)... — read more

Never cared about the employees only about #’s and now trying to be like cable companies with all these layoffs and ppl walking away it’s only a matter of time before this company is a fa-t in the wind

It all starts innocently enough. After having reduced teams to the bone, someone from another country is brought in to help out the struggling team. So on top of having higher workload, you also need to train people who has never used the systems or... — read more

Wonder what Trump would say about an American company that is the currency for ratings being operated out of India and jobs(data) being outsourced to Mexico. Maybe he would be interested that fake news start with Nielsen. Keep jobs in America
