Business Outlook
Pros
CME enjoys a near monopoly position in some asset classes and products and individual impact/ opportunity is limited. Surprisingly high level of nepotism for a US public company based in London and not meritocratic. Very political culture where progression and business is hampered by politically motivated behaviour. Dual problem of high turnover of able performers but attrition of weak performers London is a satellite office with decision making in Chicago, by people removed from the underlying business or have little market experience or knowledge. Lack of diversity in London; less of an issue in US.
Cons
Reasonable benefits package and salary with work life balance but limited progression.
