CME Group Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Great company but stuck in a rut."

"I worked for CME for over 12 years though I'm not fond of being let go but the company did provide me with many learning opportunities. They are on the leading edge of many technologies. They do offer competitive salary and benefits."

"I worked at CME Group for over 13 years. It is a strong technology based company. They have offices all around the world with over 3000 employees."

"I have worked for CME Group for 6 years. The company is dynamic and forward thinking. However lately the company has been run by accountants and keeps reducing headcount and moving positions overseas. Eventually the company will be unable to advance due to lack of headcount. Everyone is concerned about their job security which leads to poor morale."

"I have worked as employee for Make Corp as consultant at CME for almost 1.5 years. Excellent experience. Very smart people work as a team for a common goal."

"The company plays a major role in F&O market. The biggest drawback is that the company doesn't sponsor H1B for students."

"To much politics, and to many not needed meetings. Management is not oriented on the result, but on the process. Its not enough just to be professional at CME."

"The company is effective at what it does. It is a good organization for the right person, but that is dependent on the role and the person. Potentially like a lot of companies, it struggles with changes and providing the right incentives for people to excel. It is the combination of several different previously independent organizations, with the addition of several new offices, all of which have trouble at times with adapting to the new company."

"This project involved different kinds of Exchanges, which means it provides different kind of trading in different kinds of Exchanges CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange), DME (DubaI Mercantile Exchange), NYMEX, COMEX, (CBOT) Chicago Board of Trade with different products."
