Pros

- Lots of very competent people working here, many with long experience. - Very interesting, world-leading products (trading systems, clearing systems). - Good salary. - Generous benefits. For example, during Covid, everybody got 2 days off each month (flex days). - Open and transparent CEO. - Good and stable business.

Cons

- A bit bureaucratic and process-heavy - There are many similar systems for both trading and clearing due to Nasdaq having bought other companies. This means less focus. - Office in Stockholm is off the beaten track .

Pros

Smart people; being an Exchange and a tech company is a unique space; always something to learn from your colleagues or from in-house webinars. Colleagues are willing to chat about their area of expertise.

Cons

Salary is not particularly competitive, though HR will claim it's competitive...comical. You stay because you enjoy your colleagues and it's a globally-recognized company and brand. Could be absolutely perfect if the base salary were competitive by 15%+ and if the vesting were quarterly or every 2Q. Have heard horror stories of folks trying to take mobility.
