      Pros

      CMEGroup creates and adopts new technology to solve problems heretofore unseen in our industry without the risk of a startup.

      Cons

      Heavy regulatory burden by the Federal government - this does not impact new technology rollouts as much as maintenance of existing systems.

      Thanks for the review. We’re proud to be known as a leading technology company that’s proactively focused on delivering cutting-edge solutions to our clients, and we’re glad that’s been your experience at CME. Over the last several years we’ve made a concerted effort to break down silos across the organization and we appreciate you noting improvement. It’s an area we continue to prioritize.

      Pros

      - Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

      Cons

      - Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
