Weak leadership. Even worse CEO. Culture has gone down the drain.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Collaborative Peer Network - but since the leadership transition to CEO Craig Donohue, the once-vibrant culture has shifted to a rigid, top-down structure focused almost exclusively on shareholder optics.

Cons

Since the arrival of the new CEO, Cboe’s workplace environment has declined. Once a highly collaborative and supportive culture, the company has shifted to a top-down structure focused heavily on shareholder returns at the expense of employee well-being. Drastic remote work restrictions and recent staff reductions have exacerbated already poor work-life balance and burnout, as remaining employees absorb the extra workload. With flat compensation and limited upward mobility, institutional trust has eroded, prompting many talented professionals to exit.
