I applied online. I interviewed at Nasdaq (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
The interview process was very straight forward. Started off with a brief interview with HR, followed by another phone interview with the hiring manager, and then an in person interview with the hiring manager and a member of their team. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere of the office was very welcoming. The in person interview was very laid back - definitely a more conversational interview discussing the position and the day to day responsibilities. A few days after the in person interview, I had followed up with the HR contact to answer some follow up questions regarding the company's benefits. After a week of not getting a response, I followed up again requesting an accurate timeline of when I would hear back from them. No answer still, I called the office of the HR contact and left a message on their voicemail. Still no response. The last thing I did after being completely shut out was emailed the hiring manager just to make sure everything was okay and to see if there was anything else additional they needed from me. Nothing. It's been 4 weeks now since my in person interview and not even an email or a phone call from them. For being the reputable company they are, you would think they would have the decency to contact you after going through 3 rounds of interviews even if it is to say I wasn't selected for the position.

I applied online. I interviewed at Nasdaq (Taguig)
Interview
It started with a phone interview. Next was two online examinations that aimed to assess your grit and resiliency. If you pass that, you go through the panel interview then the final interview with key stakeholder
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked mostly personal questions during the phone interview. But for the panel, they had a mix of personal and technical questions--like you had to define and differentiate some terms. As long as you're confident with your technical knowledge, I believe you'll get through this. I wasn't so I didn't get an offer.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Nasdaq (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2016
Interview
Nasdaq HR recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn as I my profile was a good fit for a role in a growing team. Interview process was very easy and straightforward thanks to the fantastic HR Bruce.
Interview stages were as follows:
1) phone call with HR to assess fit, review resume and expectations.
2) preliminary phone call with hiring manager with both basic technical (coding) Qs and behavioral Qs.
3) HR called back to inform that I was selected to move to the on-site interview stage. I was asked to complete a short coding project with presentation. A week's time was given, which was ample despite my day job time commitment.
3) half day on-site interview with hiring manager, peers and HR. The interview with hiring manager included the presentation and code review.
4) Final decision notice took about 2.5 weeks but only because of the Xmas and New year holidays. Again HR was kind enough in letting me know that the decision would take time ( which was expected due to the holiday season).
I really enjoyed the interview process because all the interviewers conducted the sessions like open conversations, not just to assess my ability to fill the position, but also to help me understand what the role truly involved and if I wanted to be a part of it.
All the employees are brilliant without being alpha-competitive, unlike some other big name companies. Even after joining here, I have (happily) found that all my colleagues are honestly invested in the company mission and genuinely want everyone on the team to do their best. This is definitely something that influenced my decision to accept the offer, although the job profile showed excellent growth potential and benefits were competitive as well.
