Pros

The benefits are good if you stay.

Cons

CME Group is run by a bunch of narcissistic people who abuse their power and treat their subordinates like garbage . One person in particular comes to mind -Sean Tully. He must have been bullied in the past and now abuses his power and speaks to his coworkers and reports in a very demeaning way, going off on insane rants which I can only assume make him feel better and more powerful, all while making 3-4 million a year. I don’t know how this man still has a job in such a high position but it seems like he gets away with it because everyone is afraid to lose their job if they disagree with him.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
