What is the best part of working at the company?
While different departments were very siloed, my managers own words, management does not micromanage but is there when assistance is required. The company seems to really care for their employees although the ones at the bottom do seem to be the most expendable when layoffs are at hand. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Honestly pretty laid back at least in the department i was in. As long as you completed everything you needed to do and were showing that you were putting in some extra time and effort to improve at your own position it could be a fairly easy going experience.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is very focused on safety, inclusiveness, cybersecurity, and making sure employees have the help and support they need from others. I had a remote position, but they tried to make it a lot more like we were all working together, and tried to help us get to know our coworkers through digital means.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Checking emails and updates, making sure i had accepted or declined any online meetings, doing training programs online from cybersecurity, to  harassment training, to merchandising training to improve my skills at the job. Signing into work through the online app, driving to my locations and collecting data. Following policies and procedures. Fun, and great work/life balance.

I worked as an Associate Analyst at NielsenIQ and had a very positive experience throughout my tenure. One of the biggest strengths of the company is its supportive and collaborative work culture. My manager and colleagues were always approachable, encouraging, and willing to help, which created an environment where learning and professional growth were genuinely valued.

The company offers competitive benefits, including generous paid time off, medical coverage, and employee support programs that contribute to a healthy work-life balance. I appreciated the opportunity to work on challenging analytical projects while continuously learning new tools, methodologies, and business concepts on a day-to-day basis.

Working at NielsenIQ helped me strengthen my skills in data analysis, statistical modeling, marketing analytics, and stakeholder communication while collaborating with global teams. The organization promotes innovation, knowledge sharing, and professional development, making it an excellent place for individuals looking to build a career in analytics and data-driven decision-making.

Overall, I had a high level of job satisfaction and would consider NielsenIQ one of the best companies I have worked for. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a supportive workplace, meaningful learning opportunities, strong benefits, and a healthy work-life balance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

I believe I earned staying employed for as long as I did. I earned the recognition I received over the years.
Management does a great job with communication
Workplace culture is relaxed, flexible, and friendly, but business-like.
Hardest part of the job was learning the new enhancements that were rolled out every 2 weeks in order to keep up with our custom platform capabilities.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the job, and the people. I truly enjoyed what I did and who I worked with.

Below the CEO level, managers and manager managers are not on the same page with employees. Turn over is high as the pay is average and does not reflect the amount of work you do. Pay freezes are common. Work deadlines are not difficult to manage and the work is not too difficult, but they do expect you to train yourself without much onboarding. The company is currently experiencing a major effort to retire legacy applications and move to the cloud, but there is not a clear path for how to do so. The day to day tools you need to do your job do not come installed on your computer nor are they on a company wide intranet site, so you have to work with IT to find someone who can grant you permission to install them. Finally, experienced employees who reach a certain age are routinely laid off and replaced with younger, cheaper employees who are frequently off shore contractors

New management led to massive layoffs - they shut down the entire lab, laying everyone off. Management was not clear with expectations. They used part-time workers as full time with no added benefits. Certain upper management employees spend entire meetings yelling at each other, leading to tense workplace culture. None of my coworkers did anything to deserve being laid off. I left on my own accord because I felt taken advantage of. Kind of ridiculous how the new management is taking things. Everyone else at NielsenIQ works remotely. We were forced to work in the office. The office is empty pretty much every day of the week. I took the job because it was exciting getting to do neuroscience and get paid for it. I used to love my job. But not anymore.

I have worked in NIQ as an intern for about 5 months. Maybe it depends on your manager and cluster, but as for my experience, the cluster I am in has a very lenient manager [i.e., open to ideas from her people (even interns like me), allows for an adjusted schedule (e.g., you'd like to start early and end shift early), and is willing to give feedback regularly.]. 

Also, one of the pros is: even if you're just starting as an intern, you'll see the significance of your role and contribution to the team—clear. The only con (which is not really a con) is that the role would sometimes demand a lot, especially during peak seasons, but this cancels out as non-peak seasons can be very chill.



There is lobby on higher management that came from company Trans Union. These people are assigned lead on projects that with no technical know how. Projects are executed from external vendors with consultation from big 4 but project leads are these complete incopetent Trans Union managers/directors that are getting all the credit since they obviously praise each other to executives and investors. It's the typical Americal corporate culture where it's not what you know it's who you know. 

In terms of gaining experience in Market Research/ FMCG business this is a good way to enter as you can learn much and get insights. But the sales target can be set unrealistically which can be draining.

NielsenIQ, or Nielsen as known earlier, is a company that values it's employees as human beings and cares for their well being. So, there's a lot of mutual respect among colleagues. The organization hierarchy is also pretty flat and even senior leaders are approachable. However, off late the company has become very tight budgeted, owing to which there has been a lot of attrition. There are substantial perks like employee health insurance, travel allowance etc.
