      Pros

      For those interested in financial services and with a lot intellectual curiosity, this company provides many opportunities to satisfy the need to learn. In-house training is abundant, and the derivatives industry in general is dynamic and evolving. Bonuses are usually paid out in full. Merit increases are standard.

      Cons

      In a financially well year, the company laid off many talented people. Scary to think what might happen in a down year. Promotions are very difficult. Don't expect only hard work to get you there. The most successful promotion strategy is to threaten to quit.

      CME culture and morale used to be fantastic with happy people. CME Group has squashed that with the megacorp environment

      Pros

      Paid Time Off (PTO) is good (i have 5 weeks now). Pension. Medical benefits are still better than most although that seems to get worse year after year. Office space and kitchens are nice and clean. Work from home is available for many positions. PC hardware is up to date and iphone is the standard phone.

      Cons

      Used to be a friendly, welcoming and helpful atmosphere that made people happy to come to work. After numerous layoffs and corporate changes, employee morale is so bad that a day at the office is like being at a funeral all day. - no formal job description - no clear growth paths for promotions - promotions seem to go to "buddies" - costs and expenses are under heavy scrutiny - reimbursement for travel, internet, stipends, overtime, bonuses etc The mindset seems to be that everyone is operating in survival mode trying to avoid being fired.
