      The company is fine. Boring. Safe. Easy to join and easy to leave.

      Pros

      Great work life balance, relaxed atmosphere, good benefits and pay, strict 8-5: staying late is unheard of. The job is easy to relax in and collect a paycheck without doing much work

      Cons

      The company feels complacent. It is a monopoly basically in the futures industry. Very little drive to streamline or improve processes. Virtually no communication between departments. Little advancement opportunity, management is old and entrenched. Days become boring for lack of work. Only good for those without real ambition. Actively discourages ambition and dynamism.

      Pros

      Good benefits Superb location downtown Chicago Good tech resources and training available

      Cons

      Closed rigid culture with very formal lines of communication Overly concerned with protocol and highly bureaucratic internal processes Performance evaluations are highly political, despite what’s initially communicated its difficult to advance, salaries stagnant, bonuses below target

      Great if you have talent and want to coast, not so great if you want to advance and drive technical change

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits and salaries are above average. Work-life balance is good. Extensive use of open source and standard technologies. Some best practices including continuous integration. Locations convenient to train stations.

      Cons

      More demotions and layoffs than promotions the past few years. Arrogant senior management. Arcane business knowledge valued more highly than technical competence. Many manual processes that could easily be automated but are not. Many outdated legacy systems. Severe risk aversion that inhibits improvements. Locked-down computers. Big brother surveillance. Depressing office environment. Awful coffee. Low expectations for developer productivity.
