Pros

NASDAQ has good employee benefits including stock and option grants although those are heavily tilted to senior management.

Cons

NASDAQ acquired Thomson's IR unit in 2013. NASDAQ pretty much turned over its entire corporate solutions group and culture to the Thomson people, and gave and continues to give opportunities and advancement to the Thomson alum. Meanwhile the core IR unit has consistently seen revenues and product quality decline - this is masked in earnings reports by NASDAQ's acquisition of other companies in the space and allocation of those revenue to the market technology/corporate solutions unit.

Pros

Has a good 401K match. Has a nice ESPP. The benefits are pretty good. The work is not that hard and since there is no incentive to outperform, there is no reason to stay late at night or work the weekends. The associates and non management workers tend to be intelligent and hard working, but they leave after 2-3 years.

Cons

The opposite of an entrepreneurial firm. Management is deathly afraid of making a wrong decision, so every baby step forward has to go through committees and analysis. The company is also keen on diversity in senior management. So if you are incompetent but check a diversity box, this could be the perfect place for you.

Pros

Get to coordinate with global teams. Tech stacks and new tools experience.

Cons

India is just an operational region for Nasdaq. No new projects being delivered from the region, just operational support and bug fixes work contributions. No lunch service (Yes you read it right) and organization in 2022 doesn't offer lunch scheme for day, No CAB service for men (they vouch for equal opportunity).
