Terrible corporate culture; awful place to work - Anonymous employee Nasdaq Employee Review

Where to begin? NEPOTISM reigns supreme in a place with the worst cut throat corporate atmosphere I've ever experienced. It's all about who you know, they could care less about what you know. You can expect 6 month contract consultants to get better treatment and some sort of cross training, you can also expect them to get the benefit of human decency and be told months in advance when they will be let go. As a full time employee you can expect incompetent managers who backdoor their personal friends in through shipping and internships to be promoted directly to lead positions with zero experience, you can also expect these people to train the new contractors, only to have these contractors held accountable for their lack of proper training. You can expect directors who could care less about their responsibilities, only to focus on what matters to them. You can expect an extreme cut throat team experience, to the point where there are Matchbox buses with the Nasdaq name on them because "throwing someone under the bus" is a daily occurrence (This is true, it is celebrated so much at this company these toy buses do exist). You can expect to show up for work on a Monday, to be instantly let go for weak reasons that don't pan out, that's what happens though when you've just hired your best friends brother (whom you've also hired and made a lead position), and need to make room for another "lead."
