      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exemplary cost cutting skills have allowed NDAQ to hide terrible results for years and still produce EPS gains.

      Cons

      Leadership is completely out of touch yet mandates strategy and is surprised by poor results. C Suite is running out of people to fire and will soon be the only ones left to blame. Company is spread wide and thin with dated and poor technology across the board. Valid HR complaints from accomplished women are swept away as performance trumps all at NDAQ.

      Not a place for tech innovations

      Vp, it

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you can navigate well with politics and speak jargon of the latest technologies, you can go far.

      Cons

      Too many failed bets over the years that yielded no results. No real innovations. People are mostly work in clicks, feels like high school sometimes in technology orgs.

      Operates, Thinks, and (pays) like a Tech company from the 80s

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good WLB - Interesting and unique projects you won't be able to see elsewhere. - C-Level Execs seem to be aware of the problems and trying to fix them. Just not sure how well equipped they are to fix it. And it feels really slow.

      Cons

      - Most of the exciting technology innovation happened from the early 80s to early 2000s. - Many middle managers are detached from the reality of the competitive landscape of the tech scene - both in the technology stacks and development methods. (Why are people talking about agile in the company are people who have the least idea abut agile?) - Product Management falls into 3 categories - 1) barely knows their own customers and their work, 2) thinks like product managers from the 80s, or 3) has a rest and vest mentality. There are few who are smart but they seem unmotivated because of the organizational forces outside of their control. - Bloated HR with lots of people getting paid too much but adds negative value (haven't updated tech pay band in 15 years, does a horrible job on-boarding people to the point
