      Quantity over Quality, no room for individual thinkers

      Pros

      Good salary, smart people, fairly flexible.

      Cons

      After the last couple reorgs the company has basically turned into "do as I say". Opinions, individual thoughts, and alternative solutions are no longer welcome at CME. It's a shame a company that promoted and thrived on innovation has completely thrown that out the window. Every single person I know fears for their job. It's not a healthy place to work.

      Pros

      Good compensation, stable industry, a pension, generous paid time off if you can afford to take it, great location. Big-company technology in a small company forces staff to have multiple skills. After the multiple rounds of cuts, IT is getting more efficient in many areas. Management in some areas are excellent.

      Cons

      80% of the work is done by 20% of the staff. Very difficult to get promoted, priorities shift daily, long term strategic planning next to impossible, and many highly paid / highly titled employees in the technology planning area don't pull their own weight. Working hours very stressful. 6-day work weeks are common.
