Pros

The CEO is great and holds things together. But when he leaves....

Cons

The legal department -- the GC/CRO but especially his main group leader VPs -- are beyond terrible. Unethical lawyers, epically bad managers, and even worse people. Some of the most un-selfaware, tone deaf, clueless individuals you will ever meet. It really is an embarrassment.The President and COO, about to take over for the CEO, will run the company into the ground. Everything is personal, completely unprofessional. EVP for Information Services has zero clue what he is doing. Terrible hire. Get out or stay away!

Thank you for your comments. Integrity is a core value at Nasdaq, Nasdaq has multiple resources for employees and others to report concerns of this nature, including management, HR and the Office of General Counsel, as well as a Speak Up Program that allows individuals to report concerns anonymously.

Pros

You work with passionate and smart individuals.

Cons

Senior management constantly makes impulsive decisions and manages by fear. Adena Friedman is suppose to take over as CEO but she is no different than Bog Greifeld. There is constant changes of direction and failed initiatives are hidden to investors. You are getting compensated fairly but it comes with the cost of working extensive hours and being constantly threatened of losing your job even if you are a high performer.
