Pros

Great colleagues and fantastic client

Cons

Very US centric means they often forget that there are clients (and employees) in the rest of the World. Use your global resources, ask the people on the ground what your clients need. Career development is stifled due to their believe that Mgmt needs to sit in London resulting in promotions based on location rather than talent.

Thanks so much for leaving us your feedback. As a global company, we are actively working to engage with our employees and clients around the world, so this feedback will help us in the future to execute on this goal. Some ways we are currently working to connect more fully with our global presence is through the development of an internal mobility group here at Nasdaq. We also offer a mentorship program that helps transfer knowledge and enable growth despite geographic boundaries. We hope we can expand on these efforts in the future to truly make the most of our global footprint for our employees and clients.
