Salary is too low but work is more responsibility

The good thingsEvery December only

The challengesAbout the salary and the life insurance that they promise you when you start at the beginning. You work for 10 hours and yet you earn about 430 and below because of transportation and your meal,but if you work more than 14 the swapping of time work did not exist.

Learn from the best minds in the industry.

The good thingsIf you have insatiable thirst for learning, this is the place to be. I enjoyed customizing research studies based on the objectives of various companies. In the process, I get to learn a whole lot of new ideas.

The challengesDon't let fear stop you from doing the right thing. Always consult your ideas with your superior before doing anything to avoid rework.

My experience of being a part of this company is really good.

The good thingsI enjoy working here because of I can see that the company is really heading upwards. They are taking care of us as we can see. Our Managers and Supervisors are very supportive and very open-minded. We can talk to them directly if we have any concerns and that what makes our Department a good team. I also like our new workplace. This is really a good environment to work and also we are more comfortable with where we are right now. I think this company is really heading the right direction and as an employee, I'm very happy that I'm a part of it.

The challengesThere are many challenges in this work especially in our Department. Sometimes the workload is too much but all we have to do is carry on with the work at hand and deal with it. Of course, we should avoid any errors that we possibly can. We always work under pressure. But still, we finish the task always on time.

The good thingsPeople in Nielsen were family. I never felt that I was working because I enjoyed everyone's company. The bosses were nice and I really learned a lot from them.

The challengesI just wish that the management could've reviewed the employee salary rates. I worked in Nielsen for more than 5 years but I didn't get a good increase even though I have been performing well and Igot excellent grades

A great partime job for a fresh graduate

The good thingsI was working part time on a per project basis. I love the work there. I can work on my own pace. They pay us timely. I just need to report to the office once a week to turn over the research/interviews that I have completed.

The challengesNone that I can mention. I enjoyed my part time projects there. I did not stay in the office that much to be able provide feedback on what they can improve on.

Opened better opportunities

The good thingsWorking in Nielsen open a lot doors to better opportunities. I met people who believed in my capabilities and skills. I became part of the Nielsen Top Talent program, to which there are only 30 members.

The challengesI did not see my immediate boss as a leader, instead he was more of a dictator and did not really know what he was doing. He just passed all the work to his subordinates. I needed a mentor, not to be the mentor of my own boss. Also, there was a difficulty when it comes to HR contacts. Most of the HR people already resigned, and what made it more difficult I was under the payroll of AGB.
