Pros

Excellent benefits package Secure building Interesting and intelligent people working there Laid-back departments (at least mine is) Big part of a great industry; CME is constantly doing new things.

Cons

-Senior management is somewhat incompetent at times and some are so arrogant -There are people who are managers & AD's who are clearly not ready for the role -Seems to be resentment from older employees to young, bright employees who aspire to move up. -Work can get repetitive and monotonous at times.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
