Pros

My colleagues were great to work with.

Cons

Unfortunately NASDAQ was the worst company I have ever worked for. It starts at the top and ends with the local sales management (specifically in Chicago). They say you're only as strong as your weakest link and it's quite imperative that the sales managers are destroying what could be a great place to work for.
