Business outlook
Pros
CME is an industry leader in the futures industry. They have an excellent benefits and compensation package and have a large number of very talented people working for them. Transferring between groups is allowed after each year. Their goal is to retain good people.
Cons
Across groups, management does not work together, preventing the transfer of knowledge and lessons learned across the enterprise. Poor development practices enforced and encouraged in non mission critical areas. The "heroes" are rewarded over people who prevent the issues in the first place. The heavy bureaucracy of a large exchange prevents the introduction of new software development practices without a hard fight.
