      Pros

      Work life balance, benefits generally good

      Unforced error in Google partnership that continues to stifle productivity from substandard software, lack of leadership/direction/concern from upper management, underinvestment in employees and resources

      Heading in the wrong direction

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great people - Decently flexible hybrid model - Work life balance - As far as the work itself goes, it's pretty enjoyable working here, and it's the kind of place I would genuinely like to work for long term.

      Cons

      - Low compensation, with limited year-to-year growth. If you come in at a lower salary, it seems likely to stay that way relative to your position or tenure at CME. - Cost cutting lay-offs and offshoring makes me concerned for the future, and it's been negative for productivity, quality, and morale. Seems to be a big cost cutting priority from the top. - Lack of internal job postings and mobility for US developers.

      Hostile work environment

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Senior employees make excellent salaries. Junior employees make ok salaries.

      Cons

      Hostile work environment. Management is stuck in the 1950s. Lack of diversity at the top. Hostile to race.
