CME Group reviews

Dismal HR, who do lip service to best practices but are there to spy on behalf of management. Raising any attention to malpractices, while “encouraged” is just a trap. There is no long term strategy for the data business, just looking to live quarter to quarter. Senior Mgmt constantly “empowers” the employees by choking them for strategic ideas and implementation, but says outright no to any new business initiatives or cases. Some excellent and talent individuals are suffocated by management , who take credit for any successes and lay blame otherwise. People from various teams regularly disappeared without explanation, especially just before their 2 years of service were over (just before any employment rights kick in). Another common approach was to advertise position as Director and then lower the titles to manager at the interview or just before the contract signing stage, stating that there is no difference in the packages when clearly bonuses differ by title as her the HR handbook. They hire talented and diverse people but suppress them and allow a few rotten apples to run the show. I was told by my boss to take credit of other regional teams and present their findings to senior management as mine - literally told “to learn to be crafty” My boss constantly plotted against other people and openly bragged about playing chess moves while others play checkers. I could go on and on but you get the picture. Their slogan should be “where futures are destroyed” not “where futures are made”. Toxic corporate culture at its worst ....

Very political and bureaucratic with poor senior management.
