Pros

good compensation, benefits and vacation Challenging environment with good work / life balance for the most part You can learn a lot Great on resume

Cons

Pretty political and still has a very much "he or she are one of our people" type of situation for promotions It isn't CME Group's fault but the intense regulatory environment sometimes forces employees to do work that adds little value to the process or the organization but is done anyway because a regulator asked for it

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.
