Working for Nielsen as a Canadian employee (software engineering) since Oct 2019 and just got let go. Not really a shock to me as the writing was on the wall for North American employees. I definitely did get more than the minimum (which is 2 weeks... — read more
Wait, there are layoffs happening today???
Where? How many?
Laid Off While Pregnant Today – Anyone Else Affected by the Recent Restructuring?
I disclosed my pregnancy to the company on October 6, 2027, and was notified this afternoon 11/4/2026 that my position was being eliminated as part of a company restructuring. I am in Data Science team, based in US. The company has not provided... — read more
I heard that more field managers were let go, more field reps lets go, and markets combined.
As layoffs appear to continue, I don't know why more folks aren't actively looking for jobs to get out of this sinking ship. My theory is that they will continuously cut jobs, as Karthik adopts AI more and more, and the field will eventually be just... — read more
Coup in Poland
How's that GCC in Poland working out?
I always thought this was along the lines of a BRIBE
I worked in the 'gift' dept for a while... nowadays they send out cash, $1, $2, $5 to homes to entice them to sign up for Nielsen to track what they are watching in the home. BRIBE or NOT ?
Another one bites the dust!
Nielsen lost the TV business in New Zealand, so the office will be closed with a year by end of the current contract. All non US TV markets are sentenced to die within the next year or two, unless they sell the business, if there is any buyer!
Nielsen IPO seems far away
These days investors only care about AI. Did the private equity miscalculated here and didn't count with AI when they decided to buy Nielsen and do their thing? I don't think anybody will buy into Nielsen if they decide to IPO today, nobody will... — read more

UNIONIZE
Unionize, unionize, unionize! So what if your wages might be a little lower due to union fees? Would you rather lose $20-40 per paycheck and have higher job stability, or keep that $20-40 and every quarter have the risk of losing your job? It's... — read more
Nielsen is a DEAD entity
GET OUT and start living.
Get out before they get you out.
It’s shocking to know that people are still working here after the constant bullsh-t that comes out of the mouth of Regional directors and Field managers. The Field has always been the back bone of this company, but they treat the field like garbage... — read more

Layoffs in the Tech org
Layoffs in the Tech org are slated for late this year or early next year. It’s pretty evident there’s no plan for growth and no one left to innovate. The entire MO is to keep the business running for a few more quarters so they can IPO. The moment... — read more
Where's the actual plan?
Everything seems to come back to reducing costs rather than improving the business. As a result, the many, many cuts are making it harder for teams to communicate and get anything done. It's all a big joke.
Layoffs email
Can someone post the layoff email that was sent out by Nielsen before they lied and said it was phishing to report it as such? They had directors to managers lying about the email. Russ danced around the question this morning before he had to finally... — read more

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?

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
