Pros

Good salary, some very sharp co-workers, decently located in regards to public transportation

Cons

This company rewards mediocrity, the environment is something from the early 80s (we're talking cubicles here!), the environment is not supportive for women or minorities in technology, it is very much 'Wolf of Wall Street' culture - you're either one of the 'good old boys' or you simply do not exist. the CEO calls the environment 'innovative' and is sadly being fed some bologna by upper management that has completely lost touch with their employees and its sad - he can't even see that his employees are laughing at him every single time he uses the word "innovative". There is not a single innovative person or thought in that company. Or if they get someone in who truly has great ideas - the motivation will be SUCKED out of them by the end of 2 years just because it will probably take that long to get even a PoC approval

Pros

Colleagues are talented, professional, and thoughtful. A previous commitment to DEI means Cboe has a more diverse workforce which makes it a stronger organization.

Cons

The new CEO is a living, breathing, disinterested cliche. And his disinterest in regular humans is permeating all levels of the organization. People who can leave are, including senior leadership. Previous commitments to DEI have evaporated and salaries are stagnant. Internal career opportunities are rare. They recently announced that this year's annual promotion cycle would be moved from February to October. This is an organization being purposefully trimmed from within. The employee attrition is not only acceptable, but is most likely by design.
