Pros

Exemplary cost cutting skills have allowed NDAQ to hide terrible results for years and still produce EPS gains.

Cons

Leadership is completely out of touch yet mandates strategy and is surprised by poor results. C Suite is running out of people to fire and will soon be the only ones left to blame. Company is spread wide and thin with dated and poor technology across the board. Valid HR complaints from accomplished women are swept away as performance trumps all at NDAQ.
