More political than Washington

Pros

CME enjoys a near monopoly position in some asset classes and products and individual impact/ opportunity is limited. Surprisingly high level of nepotism for a US public company based in London and not meritocratic. Very political culture where progression and business is hampered by politically motivated behaviour. Dual problem of high turnover of able performers but attrition of weak performers London is a satellite office with decision making in Chicago, by people removed from the underlying business or have little market experience or knowledge. Lack of diversity in London; less of an issue in US.

Cons

Reasonable benefits package and salary with work life balance but limited progression.

Pros

You can make a lot of money here and learn some cool things. Lots of Super Smart Employees.

Cons

Super Smart employees fleeing like the plague thanks to the better economy. Upper management more interested in CYA than company growth. Culture of fear has taken over middle management. Poor training/onboarding for new employees. Long hours unrelated to real business needs expected. Everything is a fire drill - you will never be allowed to take time to proactively improve anything.
