I believe Nielsen just went from being a public to private company … is this a red flag? Should I not be accepting job offer ??

From a culture standpoint I prefer private firms. Public firms are beholden to shareholders and have to watch the margins. Private firms have the luxury of focusing on long-term growth and benefits. (Unless they are PE backed then disregard everything I just said and run like hell)

Personally, I’d run like hell. First, the PE point made in the first comment is valid (unless you’re a very senior role then it can be something you get rich doing) and they were bought by a PE consortium so it’s multiple funds hounding you.
Second, I think their business is a joke. Their two prime products, retail sales reports and tv viewership ratings, and both going down in value.
Their retail stuff has always been a made up joke, but with the consolidation in the grocery industry all they need to do is lose a couple retailers and their products aren’t worth much of anything.
