      CME Group reviews

      Good place to work, but lots of dead weight. - Anonymous employee CME Group Employee Review

      Pros

      Good benefits. Great pay. Great PTO. Great Location. Pension (small but most companies don't offer this at all). Plentiful transfer opportunities.

      Cons

      There are lots of longtime employees who get to keep their jobs simply because they've been there a long time, even if they are totally incompetent. If you end up in a department with one of these people at the top, you are doomed.

      Pros

      - Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

      Cons

      - Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
