      Pros

      There are some well skilled, dedicated and like-minded co-workers to enjoy working with learning from. Salary is acceptable. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      Promotions seem to be too rarely based on the actual capability of an employee and seems more often to be based on sycophantic behaviour towards management. The skill level vs job title standard seems to be lower at HQ compared to other offices. Investment in external training opportunities for employees seems to be increasingly pinched and rationed compared to offerings from previous years. Some Dir level employees seem completely out of touch with the day to day operations/realities of the teams they oversee.

      Pros

      Benefits of working at CME group include the compensation program, excellent benefit package, work life balance. It's an exciting industry with lots of great people.

      Cons

      Sometimes the promotion process in general can be slower than expected and slower than other organizations. For some this is not a negative but can be for others.

      Thank you for your feedback – we couldn’t agree more on the pros you highlight. Career development is a key commitment we make to our employees. When it comes to promotions, 15% of our employees were promoted in the last 12 months, which compares favorably to the industry average of 8-10%.
