      Pros

      Lots of projects Smart people to work with Great location Extremely convenient commute Great supervisor

      Cons

      Not a lot of flexibility for consultants. Permanent employees do get the opportunity to work from home as needed. Consultants aren't afforded the same luxury. My guess is CME has burned a time or two with that.

      Pros

      - Friendly working environment. - Slow-paced and relaxed. - Opportunity to work on high-impact financial software. Quite useful if you want to get into a trading firm later on.

      Cons

      - Limited skill growth capability (tools are severely locked down, etc) - Work life balance can be shaky sometimes since systems fail after 5pm, weekend, etc. - Documentation is terribly organized. - Not enough focus on engineering culture. Overall probably not the best place to stick around if you like exploring new skills, building from the ground up, taking ownership etc.
