Pros

Excellent 401(k) match Great memories

Cons

Unpopular new CEO Major budget restrictions Recent reductions in benefits Role instability (as in suddenly eliminated or remote statuses suddenly revoked) Huge culture changes, demoralized employees Issues with employee churn A year or two ago, I would have given rave reviews of Cboe's humanity and sense of responsibility and how passionate everyone was about their work. Now it's just like every other white collar office.
