Pros

Work Life Balance. Very easy interview process. CPA Review & Exam Fees Reimbursements. Up-to 8 days off in addition to standard PTO for taking your exams. Base Pay. Benefits. Not too many pros in the department it self, however the company as a whole is really great.

Cons

I was hoping to find some +'s unfortunately not many except that the interview process is super easy to get your foot into the door. Department is living in OLD SCHOOL leadership methodology where a few bad apples run the entire department and ultimately your career growth and progress. Department needs to look and learn from other departments within CME Group, Inc. and truly adhere to and live by the company objectives of Focusing on Career and Professional Development of its workforce. Rather the department just cares about the few individuals and hopes the rest follow suit.

Pros

Great pay, benefits, bonuses, PTO days, learning opportunities. A great place to advance your career, whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned veteran. I had many good years at CME. I don't regret a second of it.

Cons

The epitome of corporate America. CME used to be a not-for-profit member owned company. They went public, their stock rose to over $600, they bought every other futures exchange in America (except for ICE) and then they forgot their core values. Loyalty went out the window. Employees with 10, 20, 30+ years of service were fired. They became loyal only to their shareholders, which is what you expect for a public company. So, if you are prepared to play the game, play it here but watch your back. Nobody else will.
