Pros

The compensation and benefits package makes this company a tolerable place to work. The everyday people who actually make the Exchange function made my time there enjoyable.

Cons

CME Group's culture closely resembles the culture of a bad high school movie. Everyone who is in the "in-crowd" can expect to receive favorable raises and promotions, in spite of ability. Those who are "outsiders" can forget it. Education and ability are not equally rewarded, while incompetence is handsomely rewarded. And if you have the misfortune of belonging to a minority group, your chances of advancement are nonexistent. Before the misguided purchase of the CBOT, one of the bylines of the CME was "the Exchange of Ideas." Unfortunately, a lot of the prevailing ideas concerning fairness and diversity at the Merc resemble some of the more odious ideas which were prevalent during the 19th century.
