Intense and rewarding

Pros

Leaderships honors and encourages entrepreneurialism, both within and outside your specific role. Strong sense of mission and significant efforts made to communicate across the company's locations and business units. Strong leadership in place with a genuine interest in employee retention.

Cons

Limited work/life balance, very intense place to work. Highly siloed and hierarchical structure which can lead to inefficiencies and frustration. Budgets are always tight, need to fight for funding which while frustrating leads to very purposeful spending.

Not All Departments Are Created Equally.

Pros

6% 1:1 401k. 10% Salary ESPP @ 15% discount.

Cons

Regardless of the fact that many technology departments work together and are required to have overlapping skill sets, Nasdaq would rather retain only individuals they deem necessary to their bottom line or have big mouths. Junior/entry level hires are better off looking elsewhere for similar compensation while actually being allowed to have a life outside of work. Management expects you to work to meet deadlines without any initial input from employees about the fairness or even possibility of attaining such a deadline.
