Pros

My onboarding experience with HR was very great. Also, it's almost one year since I joined NASDAQ. My experience with the team and the management was very great. My manager, Senior manager, and VP were accommodating with the Job. Management also ensures career growth along with the current role. Learned a lot from the management style of this wonderful organization. I am glad to be a part of NASDAQ.

Cons

Nothing I can think of.

The CEO and leadership are super driven and want to make this the best place for employees and investors alike.

Cons

The drive to be the best means that countless projects and priorities are moving forward at the same time - and the lean nature of the company means everyone is working more than two jobs.
