Pros

Looks good on your resume. Let's leave it at that. Lots of people who have no idea what the company looks like from the inside will be impressed.

Cons

No interest in change. New ideas absolutely unwelcome - "this is the way we've always done it, so shut up and do it this way. No, I don't care if your idea will save us time, money, and give us better data." This week we held an event to celebrate Black History Month, invited a load of people to a big bunfight at MarketSite, panel discussions about how we should all be more inclusive, more diverse. You ever take a look at Nasdaq's management team? 3 women (25% of the C-suite - remember that roughly half the people in the US are women, so that's some pretty impressive under-representation) and no black people at all. Not even a few who are slightly tanned. Not a one. Nada, zip, zilch.

Pros

Bonus is directly tied to business goals. During a good year, bonus can be over-achieved.

Cons

This particular business unit and location within Nasdaq is extremely disorganized and contentious. Everyone is out for themselves. Not a team environment. Management ignores formal complaints of employees and shows little respect or gratitude for staff. Low morale. understaffed, overwhelming workload. The physical environment of MarketSite is horrible - no windows, no privacy. Generally, the staff show a lack of respect and lack of professionalism shown to colleagues.

Pros

No pros. Not even salary. You are constantly overworked and underpaid,

Cons

They shift your focus and internal departments every couple months, this helps move money around so quarterly reports look better. They know all the loopholes with mandates and how to treat employees. It's sickening. Offices are cramped and cheap too.
