      Was great for a while then went downhill very rapidly after large acquisition that happened in June '13.

      Pros

      Very good benefits, base pay, high quality coworkers. Some legacy products are top notch. Good company name to have on your resume.

      Cons

      Management in place now with the Thomson acquisition that has absolutely no clue what they are doing. Misstep after misstep from product roll-outs to Facebook IPO, to exchange outage in August '13. CEO will not accept any responsibility (buck does not stop with him), but will quickly place blame on internal technology issues or blame outside factors. Constantly in fear of losing your job regardless of your loyalty/tenure or how well you are doing. Employees looking to leave like rats off a sinking ship. Meetings that are typically a complete and utter waste of time. Mandate from CEO is to constantly cut costs and increase margins (like a broken record), but eventually there is no more meat left on the bone to cut. CEO is surrounded by "yes" men/women and if you're liked by executive management you'll have a job forever at Nasdaq. VP level on up is too concerned with ladder climbing.Too many fiefdom's that don't communicate well and are all selling into the same accounts which creates confusion for the prospects/clients.

      If you're not a "favorite" move on

      Pros

      CEO is extraordinarily impressive and motivating. The company is doing many interesting things, so lots of opportunities to learn and do new things (caveat below). The name brand is impressive to future employers. Many nice people working there.

      Cons

      In the marketing department anyway, there are some great and really talented people. But it's also a pretty bloated marketing organization with literally dozens of people you would be hard pressed to figure out what they do all day. Tons of people have "director," "head of" or something similar in their title but very few are willing or able to actually make any decisions, so everything takes way longer than it needs to. If you need anything, be prepared to ask three or four times and/or escalate up the chain of command because many people just ignore you if they don't feel like helping and/or the organization is so bloated you might be asking the wrong person. No matter the results you produce, if you're not "in" with or a favorite of the top marketing management you won't go anywhere.
