I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Nasdaq (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2011
Interview
There was no phone interview. After applying for the position and not hearing anything, but still seeing the position posted I made some phone calls. Eventually networked into somebody who helped. Got a call for an interview. The interview was very informal. Focused on even though it's NASDAQ it's not a trading position. I need somebody yesterday. The job description was for installation and training for new clients. I was told that even though it's a suppot role, there would be cross and up-selling opportunity. Was given some info and asked to prepare a presentation and schedule an appointment with the secretary to come back in 2-3 weeks. Upon trying to schedule the 2nd interview, my phone call where I left a voice mail was responded to via email regretting to inform me that they were considering more qualified candidates. I called back (this time I got the secretary) asking if there was some mistake because I was already asked to prepare a presentation and come back. Got an email from the manager say that upon further thought, he was only considering people with 3-5 years prior software sales experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no particularly difficult questions. It was a bizarre interview. for a small department. I'm not even really sure I was interviewed for the position I actually applied for despite my pulling out the posting and using it for talking points because there was a sales position listed that called for 3-5 years software sales experience that was also posted.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nasdaq (Rockville, MD) in Nov 2012
Interview
a phone interview from NYC office conducted by HR, very short around 15 minutes interview then followed by a onsite interview in MD. I interviewed with two managers together and totally was around more than 1 hour. They were asking normal behavior questions following by a list in the paper. Questions like what kind of working environment do you prefer or Tell me the experience analyzing data, etc.
