      Great Colleagues, but be expected to be worked to the bone

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The workforce is relatively diverse, including a fair number of women in relatively high positions and are generally smart and fun to work with. Employees generally work well with other departments. Nasdaq permits many employees to work from home either part or full time.

      Cons

      The amount of work that is expected and the amount of pressure put on emplyees to complete that work can result to some very crazy working hours, often with no compensation provided. Their is an expectation that everything should be done perfectly, but management is not will to pay for the time it takes to achieve that goal. Employee turnover is relatively high because of the mismatch of expecations. Nasdaq expects their employees to be on call and on-line more or less 24/7.

      Enjoyed sw development, 24*365, lousy physical environment, lots of pressure, interesting problems.

      Pros

      The NYC office is doing interesting development in Linux, pay and options can be pretty good if you happen to be one of the favored folks.

      Cons

      Many developers are on call 24*365 even when on vacation, long days, weekend presence often mandatory. The open plan offices in NYC and CT are noisy and non-developers are often on the phone, meetings take place all over. Tough place to concentrate, but many can work from home. Regular "downsizing".
