      Pros

      - CME name on your resume will help you get an interview at other places. - Lower pay than peers, but good benefits.

      Cons

      - CEO signed 10-Year deal with Google Cloud and did not invovle CIO or Technology Leaders. Now the org is focused on finding "problems" to solve with a solution they've been given. - Company has had multiple rounds of layoffs over the past 5 years. It is a constant cycle. - The experienced Tech leaders have all retired or left in past 3 years. Others should read the writing on the wall.

      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.
