Thanks for your comments, which we take seriously. As you mention, HR has gone through a transformation period over the past couple of years, which has been challenging and has resulted in significant changes to systems, processes, and staffing. Investment is underway to address workload and operating efficiencies to best support the changing business needs. As for turnover, while some employees do struggle with the fast pace of work and daily pressures that accompany working for a high tech company, others thrive in our environment and gain valuable exposure to interesting and impactful work. Their expertise and skills make our talent very marketable, and some of our recent turnover has been attributed to unique external career advancement opportunities, which is an ongoing retention focus for us. Nasdaq’s HR team prides itself on giving its team many opportunities to learn, grow and excel in our environment and continually strives to improve the work environment, culture and community for the team and all of Nasdaq. With recent leadership changes, there is also a significant focus on our corporate culture of innovation, collaboration, and respect.

Pros

The general culture of Nasdaq is positive and they offer great benefits. The people in general are mostly made up of smart, kind, hardworking people.

Cons

Pay is a little lower than industry standard. Bonus and stocks are great, but from what I've found it is not consistent across departments. Also, bad managers will still be allowed to thrive if they have a weak supervisor.
