      Disrespect to employee, directional persecution

      Senior risk management analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you do not like results, but process. Chicago Mercantile Exchange is more as Chicago Meeting Exchange. a meeting is as a result. Very heavy hierarchy and your extreme dependence on your manager character. Its not enough just to be professional at CME. You have to be a player, you always have to please your manager extra. It is annoying. If they put you on a black list - you going to be fired.

      Cons

      They do not keep justice, they do not like results. Its not enough just to be professional at CME.

      Cronyism, Corruption, Incompetence

      Senior analyst, quantitative risk management
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      (1) Paid time off (2) Very low quality standards make working quite easy (3) Education reimbursement benefits (4) They have a virtual monopoly on parts of the futures and options markets

      Cons

      (1) There are very few competent people working here. Most of the best staff leave within six months to a year after joining. (2) Unabashed favoritism, nepotism, and racism (3) Extreme amounts of bureaucracy to the point where real work almost never gets done (4) Very poor management; I have never seen it this bad before (5) There is no culture to speak of; hypocrisy and double talk are the norm of management (6) Employees that do not go along with some of these issues are often harasses and retaliated against

      Software design and quality is not the highest priority.

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good environment to work - modern offices. Latest software and computers. Healthcare and perks are good

      Cons

      There is no work life balance. You are considered to be on call all the time. Software development is always rushed to the point that there is rarely any design, certainly no documentation - even in the code. It is all about getting a feature in and released - testing seems to be in production.
