Pros

It was amazing! People, culture, projects. We had fun coming in to work.

Cons

Ever since I left CME, I keep hearing how bad things have become. You lost key people. Many of the ones that remain are NOT blind and are looking.

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.
