Pros
Great pay, benefits, bonuses, PTO days, learning opportunities. A great place to advance your career, whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned veteran. I had many good years at CME. I don't regret a second of it.
Cons
The epitome of corporate America. CME used to be a not-for-profit member owned company. They went public, their stock rose to over $600, they bought every other futures exchange in America (except for ICE) and then they forgot their core values. Loyalty went out the window. Employees with 10, 20, 30+ years of service were fired. They became loyal only to their shareholders, which is what you expect for a public company. So, if you are prepared to play the game, play it here but watch your back. Nobody else will.
