      Not a great department to work in

      Market surveillance analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is decent, and the workload is very manageable.

      Cons

      This department has a lot of favoritism and people get treated unequally. Poor management. Nobody says anything about it because they are afraid, but everyone who is not apart of the favorited few are aware of what's going on. Usually people just leave for other jobs and don't look back. Human resources doesn't do anything when you report issues to them. They pretend to conduct investigations, but they are just checking boxes so they don't get sued because due to questionable behavior from management. Human resources is very active in this reviews section trying to artificially inflate the company's ratings, and yet the rating is still low. This says a lot about this company.

      Don't work here if you want to make changes.

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and good wages

      Cons

      Legacy people here are extremely entitled. This us a company to stay in if you aren't bright. System is too large and difficult to change. Bureaucracy is everywhere.

      Good, but not great place to work

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      CME's work life balance is great. Employees are smart and dedicated. Comp is very competitive and benefits, particularly the pension and stock, are very competitive.

      Cons

      Siloed organization that talks about collaboration and accountability but doesn't follow through on it. There is bad behavior - backchanneling and sabotage - at some of the highest levels of leadership. Employees are rewarded more for time in role than performance, so if you value promotion due to performance, you might find this environment challenging. Investments are spread too thin across too many priorities, making it hard to see/feel like there is progress.
