Pros

Some truly great and talented people to work with. Expectations are often unrealistic but it keeps you on top of your game!

Cons

Change in culture, in the last year or so there's been multiple layoffs of many long time and talented work staff. The one common thread were all of them were over fifty years old or more. Seems to be sweeps throughout the business units of anyone approaching senior years and all are given the same tagline, "Your job has become redundant".

Nasdaq Response

We regret to hear of your perception. Nasdaq is deeply committed to creating a work environment that promotes personal and professional growth and one that fully utilizes the abilities of its employees — regardless of age, color, disability, national origin, ancestry, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, and other human dimensions that could be used to differentiate individuals. All separation decisions are assessed to ensure they are based on purely legitimate business reasons, and non-discriminatory in nature. We are grateful for your contributions to our firm and wish you the best in the future.

- My team's a beast! All are subject matter experts and performs beyond expectations. Can't ask for more :-) - Updated with the latest technology - I can work from home especially when there are typhoons. - Travel and training opportunities globally - Annual performance bonus - Transportation allowance and Office Shuttle - Support Phone for emergencies

Cons

For those who are morning persons, this is not recommended for you due to my team's working on an AMERS shift. No issues for me! But for others it may have an issue.
