Nielsen reviews

Work Life Balance really depends on which department you are in. In Innovation Analytics (BASES) or Custom Analytics, no work life balance. In Continuous Analytics and other Professional Services department, the hours are steady 9-5pm. They do have a work from home program but it really depends on whether your department supports it or not. I'm currently in a department that doesn't support it at all when really the tasks I do can easily be done at home.

**MASS LAYOFFS** Hundreds of employees, Canada Wide, affected. It was announced end of Sept. 2017, that they are closing their Call Centre, Market Survey Business Nov. 29, 2017... HUGE LACK OF COMPASSION, SUPPORT and COMMUNICATION FROM MGMT TO THEIR EMPLOYEES (especially those who have been there for years - e.g.: anyone who has been there 4 yrs, 10 months, gets nothing - no Severence, what-so-ever... You have to have been there 5 years (as per Labour Laws). Nielsen did a MASS HIRING CAMPAIGN in August, 2017 - only to lay everyone off the end of Sept. 2017 (effective Nov. 29th, 2017).... Unheard of. Knowing they had to get permssion from the Fed. Govt. (required for layoffs over 50 employees), they`ve had this planned for months. Our termination letters say we MUST keep working at our usual pace, to our usual standards. Right! And, if we find something else - we are required to give them 2 weeks notice - Seriously? We have been loyal, and are at the ready, to keep working - yet, they keep cancelling our shifts (saying there is a lack of work) - WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM US, NIELSEN? We stay on - and, you leave us hanging with little to no work?
