Nasdaq Interview Questions

Very straightforward and reasonable questions. 3 rounds in total: 1st round HR; 2nd round group meeting; 3rd round MD meeting. It happened in 2021 so all of the interviews were through zoom meetings.

I'm disappointed to say that my experience interviewing with Nasdaq has been the most unprofessional recruiting experience I have ever gone through. Most of my points are echoed by many others writing reviews on here so it seems to be a systemic issue on their recruiting team as opposed to a one-off negative experience. The process was fairly straightforward: after an HR screen call of about 20 min, there were four 30 min interviews with team members. However, that's where the straightforwardness ends. The HR reps scheduling the interviews had to reschedule a minimum of four times. I almost lost track of when the interviews were because I had so many invites and cancellations on my calendar. It was unnecessarily annoying to keep up with. The team even apologized for HR's poor effort saying that they (HR) don't really communicate with the team before scheduling the interviews. The interviews went great and every person was very excited to meet with me. HR contact even told me I was the "top candidate on their list" and "the feedback has been amazing." However, inexplicably they made an offer to someone else who they claim applied at the last minute. When I asked for feedback, HR contact said they "went with someone with more relevant experience." This was hard to believe because every interviewer said I was exactly what they were looking for. So after pushing back on this first explanation, she changed her story and said that they just went with an internal hire. She immediately forwarded a new job opening to my email as we were on the phone for me to consider. It took me 5 seconds to see that I had no relevant experience and was a poor fit for the role. I'm not sure why she suggested that I apply. My best guess is she wanted to quickly move on from discussing the last role for which she said I was the "top candidate on their list." I believe she gave me such over-the-top positive feedback to try to make sure I didn't accept another position while they were making their decision. And then she gave me fake canned responses as to why the team went with someone else when I asked for feedback. Weeks go by and I still see the position on LinkedIn and their internal job board. I think maybe the candidate did not accept their offer and the position is still open. So I reach out and reiterate my interest via email at first but after getting no response I reach out via text. It was HR contact's decision to discuss via text previously because she wanted "move things along quickly" when they were interested. Now she took her time responding, a little over a week, and finally claimed her delayed response was because she was "out of office." A simple text stating this would have been more professional than not responding until after she's back in office (this was text, not email after all). She claimed the offer was indeed accepted and the spot was filled. When I asked why they still have the role advertised on LinkedIn and posted on the internal job board, she said "if the candidate doesn't work out, then I'd have to put it back up again." That doesn't seem like too much work to me, especially to have an up-to-date job portal but maybe I'm missing something. Months go by and the job is still up on the portal and on LinkedIn. The team said they were growing fast when we spoke so I thought it was worth it to reach out again incase they added a rec on the team. I reached out to my HR contact, and to the hiring manager both via email and LinkedIn. I followed up with them and never heard a response. I also reached out to another HR contact and she said she will look into it and get back to me. She never did. Once they decided I was a "no" they cut off all communication. I was no longer worth their time or even worth an honest straightforward response. Most of this experience is echoed by other reviews here; the terrible scheduling, lack of clear feedback, and complete cut off of communication when they decide you're a "no". It seems to be a systemic issue. The recruiting team gets away with treating candidates poorly because there is no mechanism for the interviewee to give his/her-own feedback of the process. Well you can read the feedback here. This treatment is a major redflag. Apply to Nasdaq at your own risk.

First interview was with the Hiring Mgr for 30 mins, then quick call with HR, and then 1 hour with 3 people from the Team. All virtual on the same day

Basically a get to know me interview. I was asked questions about what skills can help me. I believe it was an amazing interview experience because I got to learn more snout the company and myself.

The phone screening was very loose and did not look like an interview at all. Phone screening was not even 6 minutes long. Only asked about background and it absolutely looked like they already found their candidate before my interview.

Very straightforward, applied through WayUp and it was a smooth process! The offer took a few months to process but no surprises with the interview questions. We reviewed my resume and talked through the position of the role. I ended up landing it and getting a full time offer with the team.

Coding round first. Second round some senior director developer comes and asks basics questions. Very easy, they take the interviews just to advertise that they have conducted interview. The HRs and the interviewer doesn't give any concrete feedback.

Your typical phone screen interview. Asking the "tell me about yourself" as well as "why you're interested in the position and the company". The HR person was very engaged and had a ton of knowledge for the position and company which made the experience that much better.

Very straightforward. First round phone interview with HR followed by two in person interviews with members of specific division. First round was mostly behavioral and fit questions. Second round was mix of behavioral and technical questions.

Pretty straightforward; first round was with manager to make sure that you were a good fit, second round was technical with questions involving your experience, two easy leetcode questions. As long as you review, you should be fine.
