Pros

The exchange is esteemed in Chicago. Great bonuses.

Cons

The executive management is trying to change the company culture & mindset. However, many of the forward thinking, newer employees, early in their career at CME have to report to middle managers that are stuck in the 1980's. There is a you are welcome for working here attitude, new ideas are met with contempt. Flexible working arrangements that tech. companies offer are out of the question. These are direct quotes: "I'm too old to change." " I'm riding the CME gravy train".

Pros

Global marketplace covering all asset classes: fixed income, equities, foreign exchange, commodities, energy and metals. Incredible opportunity to learn about the markets. World class clearing house. Great benefits and competitive compensation.

Cons

Extremely political organization. Almost impossible to be promoted to a senior level unless you make politicking a full time job. Very siloed. Not a lot of work life balance. Somewhat cynical culture. Board of directors way too large. Meeting for meetings sake is out of control.
