      Pros

      Great franchise, with good people, interesting work and an OK work/life balance. Also a great name for your resume. Can get great experience and access to clients. People take your calls when you are at CME. I'm generally pretty happy at least until the last year or so.

      Cons

      No pay rises or promotion for over a year now and it feels like the CEO has disconnected and is kind of out of touch. Morale not great and so lots of employee turnover as a result. Great firm to work for but my advice would be dont join now, join in a year or two when the CEO has changed and they are back to offering pay rises and promotions.

      Not Bad, Not Great

      Pros

      Decent work/life balance, benefits are not terrible. Well respected company.

      Cons

      Supposedly pay is average relative to the industry, unless you started your career here in which case you are paid 10-20% less than others doing the same thing who came from other companies. You have to leave to get paid fairly. Firm keeps cutting more and more benefits Bonus calculations are opaque and it seems the company uses this to smooth earnings

      Thank you for your feedback. CME Group regularly benchmarks roles to the market to confirm the competitiveness of our pay structure. While each employee may have a different pay rate due to factors including individual performance or experience in the role, managers are always provided with competitive pay information when making compensation decisions. With regard to bonuses, funding of the pool is tightly aligned to CME’s cash earnings performance. While this is a non-public figure, we do share general company performance updates with employees and individual bonus targets and payout ranges are transparent. As far as benefits go, CME Group provides comprehensive health, retirement, wellness and other benefits, with 83% of our employees indicating that CME provides good coverage for them and their families in our most recent employee experience survey. We encourage you to reach out to HR or your manager with questions or to learn more.
