Pros

Great culture, very honest, loyal company with excellent benefits and fair compensation. Company utilizes your talents in meaningful ways and provides ample opportunities to develop new skills.

Cons

Company is very focused on talking about their emphasis on career development without any corresponding evidence that working hard and dedicating yourself to the company’s mission will lead to some level of career advancement.

CME Group Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re always pleased to hear positive feedback about our company, culture and total rewards program. With respect to your other comments, giving employees the opportunity to build their careers at CME Group for the long term is very important to us, and we have some strong results to show for it. In 2017, 14% of employees were promoted company-wide and 30% of open positions were filled through internal recruitment – at or above the industry average for both measures. Of those promoted, 84% were individual contributors (employees without people management responsibilities).

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.
