Thanks for your comments, which we take seriously. As you mention, HR has gone through a transformation period over the past couple of years, which has been challenging and has resulted in significant changes to systems, processes, and staffing. Investment is underway to address workload and operating efficiencies to best support the changing business needs. As for turnover, while some employees do struggle with the fast pace of work and daily pressures that accompany working for a high tech company, others thrive in our environment and gain valuable exposure to interesting and impactful work. Their expertise and skills make our talent very marketable, and some of our recent turnover has been attributed to unique external career advancement opportunities, which is an ongoing retention focus for us. Nasdaq’s HR team prides itself on giving its team many opportunities to learn, grow and excel in our environment and continually strives to improve the work environment, culture and community for the team and all of Nasdaq. With recent leadership changes, there is also a significant focus on our corporate culture of innovation, collaboration, and respect.

High Impact and Challenging

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Very interesting and challenging work with a huge impact on the global economy. Much more strategic direction in recent years--solid core business with growing new offerings. Lots of upward or lateral opportunity for those willing to take on new projects and responsibilities. Solid compensation and benefits programs including all employee bonuses and stock grants, stock purchase plan, generous health and retirement plans.

Cons

Lean organization, so employees have a lot of responsibility, which impacts work/life balance. Internal processes and systems are in the process of being upgraded--patience is needed. Recognition is limited due to fast pace and volume of work.
