Pros

Exemplary cost cutting skills have allowed NDAQ to hide terrible results for years and still produce EPS gains.

Cons

Leadership is completely out of touch yet mandates strategy and is surprised by poor results. C Suite is running out of people to fire and will soon be the only ones left to blame. Company is spread wide and thin with dated and poor technology across the board. Valid HR complaints from accomplished women are swept away as performance trumps all at NDAQ.

Not a place for tech innovations

Business Outlook

Pros

If you can navigate well with politics and speak jargon of the latest technologies, you can go far.

Cons

Too many failed bets over the years that yielded no results. No real innovations. People are mostly work in clicks, feels like high school sometimes in technology orgs.
