Cons

CME is a money factory. That is great if you are an MD pulling 100+% bonuses with profit sharing. For everyone else, it's a meat grinder; here's why... You know how Oreos lost their mind and sell self-knockoffs like birthday cake Oreos and, God help me, cookies and cream Oreos? CME, having run of ideas around the time Leo and Fred retired, keep coming up with similar galaxy brained garbage. Their great idea is to sell 1/10th the product at 1/20th the price and give themselves big bonuses based on volume... But it's tech where the pigs get the lipstick Years ago, Tweedledumb and Tweedleangry implemented a palace coup and took over. Tweedledumb wanders the halls spouting business aphorisms like it's actual wisdom. His favorite is "A's hire B's, B's hire C's," completely missing the irony of the fact that he hires D+'s. He has been stealing other's credit for so long he now mistakes it for actual work. Tweedleangry's mistake is that he equates volume with leadership. The loudest yeller wins. Years of HR training have taught him to hide his disdain for women under a disdain for everyone, and to occasionally promote someone who isn't one of his golf buddies to give the illusion of fairness. Leadership below them has, through aggressive mediocrity, been thinned into a gruel of those who are too incompetent or too beaten down to be an actual threat to the Tweedles. Everyone else has been beaten into a pulp trying to complete an integration that started when the Trump wannabe CEO decided to buy the corporate equivalent of 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat. The reward for 70 hour weeks will be a mid summer layoff. I only stick around because I'm hoping I'm in the group that gets fired.
