Political and incompetent IT management team.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent Health care Benefits. Great WFH policy if you work for a descent manager. Lots of Smart people get hired from intern programs. It's a good place to get a handle on financial technologies

Cons

The most political and completely out of touch of technology organization led by clueless and delusional leaders at the top. everyone is afraid to speak their mind as folks who have in the past 3 years get pushed out. The technology leaders "vision" is a joke. Its simply this, outsource everything and let someone else deal with the consequences later. Technology is slowww and "new" ideas other companies did 6-10 years ago. No way to get ahead unless you are great at pretending these guys are awesome or you grew up in India. Women and minorities are basically nonexistent in IT at manager levels and above. Wouldn't have brought it up but They consistently talk diversity but that's just to pretend it exists

CME Group Response

We’re sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. That’s not the IT organization we’ve come to know and many of your observations do not reflect the experiences of the majority of our employees. Our Employee Network Group (ENG) program is one of many initiatives aimed at supporting diversity, inclusion and professional development in the workplace. We currently have seven ENGs focused on meeting the needs of our diverse workforce including female, black, Hispanic and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees. We also continue to take the pulse of our employees through our bi-annual engagement survey, with the last company-wide survey occurring in 2015 and the next one scheduled for later this summer. That said, we take your feedback seriously. If you continue to experience the environment you’ve described, we encourage you to reach out via email to Human Resources to raise your concerns.
