Great Work/Life Balance

Pros

A lot of really skilled technical people work here doing interesting things. 40-hr weeks are the norm with work-from-home options for most tech workers. Decent salary and very good benefits.

Cons

Measures taken to reduce bureaucracy have led to more bureaucracy. There is always another process and yet another system to get simple things done.

Thanks for your review. We agree that we have some of the smartest people in the business working together to move our company forward. Our competitive total rewards program helps us attract this level of talent, and work-life balance is a big part of that. We appreciate your point on bureaucracy as well. It’s something we’re focused on continuing to address and improve.

Pros

Benefits of working at CME group include the compensation program, excellent benefit package, work life balance. It's an exciting industry with lots of great people.

Cons

Sometimes the promotion process in general can be slower than expected and slower than other organizations. For some this is not a negative but can be for others.

Thank you for your feedback – we couldn’t agree more on the pros you highlight. Career development is a key commitment we make to our employees. When it comes to promotions, 15% of our employees were promoted in the last 12 months, which compares favorably to the industry average of 8-10%.

The people are wonderful, and very family orientated.

Cons

The new management has taken out all the seasoned employees. I thought I would retire from that company.
