Media Ratings Advisory Services (MRAS) - Deceived during interview process - STAY AWAY!
Pros: Overall it is just like any other big 4 when it comes to people.  Generally everyone was very nice and cordial.  Good pay considering the economy.
Cons: Extreme management issues.  Teams are broken into TV, Radio, Internet and International - Radio, Print and TV.  Some teams are stronger than others and are very organized.  Others however lack strong leaders that take charge and truly understand teamwork.  You are encouraged to seek work AGGRESSIVELY when you are not assigned to a full week.  Mixed signals from management across majority of teams.  I would strongly consider a position in this division within advisory.  There is a glass ceiling that no one talks about.  Experience with this area does not translate into industry with the exception of current clients.  Some managers are not effective at managing time.  One in particular is notorious for proving 8 hours of work on a wednesday afternoon around 3:00pm and expects it to be completed the same day.  If you are EXTREMELY desperate and needing a job, that is the only reason I would suggest this team  Stay away!  Look into other advisory teams or the tax/audit side.
