Horrible company morale and limited career growth

Pros

If you can stay there more than 4 years, you get some really good stock benefits. Also, they match 6% 401k which is really good.

Cons

- Nasdaq is a place for people in leadership roles (VP, SVP, CEO etc). "Regular" employees are replaceable... and you know it. - Not a lot of investment into the employee (day-to-day perks vs. long term retirement perks) - People work at Nasdaq to build their resume and get a better job somewhere else. Company morale is low because of this. No one actually likes being there (unless you are VP, SVP or higher) but the stock perks are good after 4 years so most people stay for convenience - Workflow process changes quarterly - Company direction and goals seem to change quarterly

Pros

Good location Flexible work can be interesting may be able to travel

Cons

The worst place ive worked in, glad to be out. I've spoken to some others who left, a few liked it, but more of them said they didn't like the people or management there. There were some decent people in but they tend to be quiet an inactive. My unlucky area was dominated by some guys who seemed friendly at first, but soon you realise theyre a bad stereotype of insecure IT bullies with low social skills and zero respect for others. Soon after tbh it didn't feel like a workplace, more like a bad footy team at the pub. Complete with the alpha games, constant conversations about genitals, and lets not even start on the sexism. Professionalism was a joke, and that felt like the common attitude. These guys clearly liked it perhaps because they were the top of the foodchain, but if you end up with such characters and you don't fit in to that, or they target you, good luck, you might find it toxic, and good luck finding help. I've worked in other workplaces with similar demographics and they were much better than this.

Pros

The pay and healthcare was solid.

Cons

Horrible environment. Debaucherous happy hour lovers who would rather spend their time insulting coworkers than creating a happy place to work. Devoid of any semblance of a positive culture.
