      Horrible company morale and limited career growth

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      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

      Stay away

      Pros

      The CEO is great and holds things together. But when he leaves....

      Cons

      The legal department -- the GC/CRO but especially his main group leader VPs -- are beyond terrible. Unethical lawyers, epically bad managers, and even worse people. Some of the most un-selfaware, tone deaf, clueless individuals you will ever meet. It really is an embarrassment.The President and COO, about to take over for the CEO, will run the company into the ground. Everything is personal, completely unprofessional. EVP for Information Services has zero clue what he is doing. Terrible hire. Get out or stay away!

      Thank you for your comments. Integrity is a core value at Nasdaq, Nasdaq has multiple resources for employees and others to report concerns of this nature, including management, HR and the Office of General Counsel, as well as a Speak Up Program that allows individuals to report concerns anonymously.

      Disappointed

      Pros

      If you want to start a career there and have a great name on your CV - go for it. Corporate culture within the company is good, some of the internal events I attended were interesting. That's pretty much it.

      Cons

      Awful management, outdated processes and not willing to change. Management reacted very badly to criticism. If you're starting your career, but you want to have a meaningful job - go the other way and never look back.
