Pros

Free lunch, free gym, high salary.

Cons

There is a systemic culture issue at this company. They have a very particular 'culture' they are trying to maintain. That directly translates to a male-dominated, Christian-dominated, and white-dominated workforce. The Management doesn't respond to any criticism of their status-quo. In short, this place is emblematic of all that is wrong with both software and financial companies. Proceed with caution.

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.
