Nielsen Salaries in Kolkata (Updated 2025)

Likes

The only thing I liked about working at Nielsen is its regular salary arrival and the high number of leaves available

Dislikes

Being in the field data collection operation, the infrastructure was terrible. Starting with the next immediate higher authority, they were most uncooperative to a newcomer. Their expectation was employee would know everything about their job role. But the biggest of all complaint would be the onus placed on a DA Executive to hire freelancers for data collections without any help from HR or higher authority. And finally, even after serving notice, the reliving later didn't arrive on the last working day. After prompting multiple times, it arrived 5 months later (when I had already left the company)

- US team was layed off and Indians were hired to replace them - US team was least interested in the KT and somehow gave KT and left - codebase quality is poor. - Byjus CTO joined here as CTO and gave ultimatum to return to office or resign by given date. - Not much learning. - HR is chindi chor while negotiating salaries.

Good start for freshers. Decent work-life balance.

Dislikes

Very low pay. Rude colleagues who call themselves seniors because of their tenure, they don't know the basics of the work. The work is just copy-pasting, requires no skill and qualifications. Nobody understand the purpose of doing this. The management is the worst. They are very shady, make fake assurances regarding growth and promotions, target and shame people who speak up or ask for clarity. No efforts taken to retain the top talents. Everyone is leaving and the team will barely make it till the next quarter since it's understaffed and left with people who are good for nothing. When anyone tries to leave due to the above reasons, they are shamed and termed as "job hopper".

Just the compensation offered was good. Rest all dislikes

Dislikes

Constantly laying off people. No respect for people working since 5,10+ years. They offer free lunches and in background laying offs. They have brought GCC in india only to get cheap labour and save money for their larger debt. It’s not the company of same culture as it used to be 5 years ago. They are already a sinking ship. CTO and senior manager expects team to work on weekends for their wrong decisions.
