CME Group reviews

Organizational structure is questionable and manager performance can be sub par at times. Workload can be somewhat demanding at times and will often require additional hours to be put it on the weekend for the busier weeks. With a large IT department within the company there are times when communication is not effectively established across given departments which in turn hinders the work process. The overall structure of the company is efficient, but at times it seems as if the two divisions are organizations of their own which can cause some slight problems. Other than that, in my time there I didn't experience too many major downsides to CME Group.

Across groups, management does not work together, preventing the transfer of knowledge and lessons learned across the enterprise. Poor development practices enforced and encouraged in non mission critical areas. The "heroes" are rewarded over people who prevent the issues in the first place. The heavy bureaucracy of a large exchange prevents the introduction of new software development practices without a hard fight.
