Pros

Leading futures and options exchange located close to transportation. Good benefits and salary.with further education possibilities that provides an overview of the financial and commodities markets.

Cons

Although a world leader the Board of Directors been shortsighted and believes they have the only formula for success. The directors make plans with little input from the members and member firms that has led to many legal problems and a failing confidence in the industry itself, as many large trading firms are liquidating their clearing privileges.

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.
