Demos extremely well... - Anonymous employee Nasdaq Employee Review

Those benefits come at a pretty significant price. There's no such thing as merit salary increases, your career is likely to stall, there's little in the way of advancement and no impetus by management to move people around the company to build their skill sets. Nasdaq talks a good game about corporate responsibilty, about ethics and culture, but you don't want to look too closely. Even stuff as basic as recycling doesn't happen in their US offices, and fiscal responsibility doesn't bear close scrutiny. New products are not bought on the basis of "this is the right tool for the job" - rather you get whatever an issuer makes. That includes the products available in the vending machines, billing and invoicing systems, 3rd party vendors who supply data or components for in-house products - everything. If an issuer makes it, then that's what you get, whether it is the best tool or the most cost-effective solution or not.
