Good and some bad

Pros

The team in Lakewood is excellent, high-calibre folks for the most part. Very good engineers, great atmosphere.

Cons

The management in NY kinda sucks. Teams aren't grouped according to a task they are grouped according to specialty, which cause problems trying to get things done across the different teams.

Nice people, nowhere to go

Pros

Nice people, many long tenures and generous with telecommuting and work schedule flexibility. Good benefits and salary is probably on par.

Cons

Very little chance for advancement especially for mid-level employees. This is due, in part, to the ever changing employee level goals and targets. When it seems in reach, it get farther away. Hard to get things done across business lines.

Pros

Been working at Nasdaq for 6 years. The experience varies a lot across offices, but employees in general are convivial, like working together and have a positive outlook on life. Executive Management used to be apparently indifferent to the needs of employees, but the level of respect and helpfulness has steadily grown. I feel proud to work for Nasdaq. The company uses macs and PCs, and use both iphones and adroids for mobile. It doesn't ever feel like we're working in the stone age.

Cons

The vast majority of business lines require responsible stewards, not inventors or disruptors. However there are pockets of innovation here and there that a lucky few get to enjoy. That innovation, unfortunately, is often stifled by red tape and endless appraisals of "profitability", even for nascent products that have not come to market. It is the downside of a very conservative company, although this also means that the stock price does pretty well.
