      Great CEO, the Rest is “No…”

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Adena is everything you want in a CEO: intelligent, savvy, communicative, coachable, empathetic, and assertive when needed. She knows how to build a brand. Oh and a few benefits are decent.

      Cons

      There are bloated enablement functions who do very little enablement and instead have directors and VPs talking in circles using business jargon in place of actual action or innovation. Executive leadership knows this is a problem and has been told so, but does nothing. Collaboration is non-existent on some teams and delusion take the place of constructive optimism.

Following a strategic review of our businesses in 2017, the decision was made to re-orient Nasdaq’s vision, mission and corporate strategy. The sale of PR and Digital Media Solutions Businesses aligns with Nasdaq's strategic direction which emphasizes the company’s core strengths in technology, data, and analytics. We are very appreciative for all our employees, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

      Pros

      Good work life balance. No pressure to sit late.

      Cons

      Too many roadblocks to innovation. No one makes quick decisions. Chain of command too long for any decision making. Not a startup culture at all. Engineers are at the bottom of food chain. Product and PM rule.
