It's nice to say you work for NASDAQ OMX

Systems analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The name carries a lot of weight in the financial industry. NASDAQ is the largest and most advanced electronic trading system in the entire world. Mostly everything is written in Java.

Cons

Its in the cutthroat financial industry. The hours are horrible, and you are pretty much always at work and on call for every position. You have a home office, soho, and blackberry that are required to be accessible.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The organization is relatively flat. Management can give a lot of freedom to employees.

Cons

Staff experience tends to be low and there are lots of infrastructure problems because people aren't clear on what they are trying to achieve. Competent people will probably find themselves over worked, but in the Nasdaq team these people also might have an advantage to rise quickly.
