Pros

Cutting edge technology in the electronic trading arena. The high level of professionalism exposes one to many trading opportunities in Futures and Options trading

Cons

Highly competitive and fast changing environment means one has to study in order to keep up with both the many technology and strategic initiatives.

Pros

Good application of modern technology to achieve business goals and business is willing to adapt to it. We don’t have fight to bring in a new suitable technology.

Cons

Incompetent middle management. As mentioned in another review, lots of funny drama due to petty politics within the middle management (Up to the director level). Upper management should realize not all good technical people can be good managers and ADs. I am really surprise how some arrogant people are at that level.

Pros

Great Projects, people are really smart, and you get extensive knowledge of the financial industry.

Cons

CME does an awful job of handling their consultants. They treat them very poorly going out the door. I saw two instances where giving CME 2 weeks notice worked against those people. In one instance the consultant gave notice at 9 AM and was kicked out before 10 AM. The second instance a consultant gave notice EOD Monday and was let go EOD Tuesday. More than a few supervisors have less than stellar communication skills (i.e. snarky, rude, snide, condescending commentary is the norm).
