Work at nielsen would be very interesting and growth is good

Microsoft absudsyd OP Jul 17, 2022

Yes inclined more towards this, but TC is low compared to c1, will try to negotiate with Nielsen but dont think they can do that, unless they make it for senior

Sold to Private equity. Does it means layoff?

Are you outing yourself as unable to do elementary level math

In my experience the wlb at Nielsen could be better . Not sure how it is at c1 but even if it’s the same , at least you’re getting paid more for it!

Microsoft absudsyd OP Jul 17, 2022

Yes but I heard C1 does not allow temporary wfh from home country that too if they are going for visa stamping, and every year we have plan for home country for a month, dont want to just rely on PTO, looking for some flexibility in terms of working location . About Nielsen HR said, manager will allow and understand the need.

NielsenIQ EwsP87 Jul 17, 2022

Very true. Nielsen is extraordinarily flexible when it comes to wfh matters , at least in my experience.

I was a contractor for Nielsen long time back. The with is chill there. However I would be concerned about the quality of co workers. Which team this position is for?

Nielsen zuckychuck Jul 28, 2022

The type of work may be good at Nielsen, but the quality of work they do is very very bad from my experience.

Capital One kktr43 Jul 17, 2022

Why tf would you come to C1? I make more than you as a 2nd year TDP wtf

Capital One 2cool4ya Jul 18, 2022

For Seattle I would expect more. I believe they use the Plano/Richmond salary band if you are not near a hub. Seattle is way more expensive than Plano/Richmond, I would negotiate base and try to get to 170-180s base, that would put you close to the DC area average for a PA position.
