CME Group, the world's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, today announced it has been selected by IDG's Computerworld as a 2014 Best Place to Work in Information Technology (IT) honoree, one of 100 top organizations that provides IT employees with a stimulating work environment as well as great benefits and compensation. This is the 10th year in a row that the company has been named to this list, and once again CME Group is the only financial exchange company to receive the honor. The recognition is part of the publication's 21st annual Best Places to Work in IT survey, which was published in the June 23 issue and is available online at computerworld.com.
The Best Places to Work in Information Technology (IT) list is an annual ranking of the top 100 work environments for technology professionals by Computerworld. The list is compiled based on a comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories such as benefits, career development, training and retention. In addition, Computerworld conducts extensive surveys of IT workers, and their responses factor heavily in determining the rankings.
"We are honored to be named to this esteemed list of leading technology companies," said CME Group Chief Operating Officer Bryan Durkin. "We have made a significant investment in building out our technology infrastructure to help develop our business around the world, and to have those efforts recognized for the past decade is a testament to our talented IT team and their commitment to innovation and excellence."
"Hiring the best and the brightest IT pros, offering them competitive pay and providing top-notch benefits is just the beginning for the outstanding employers on this year's Best Places to Work in IT list," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. "Both newcomers to the list and rock-steady stalwarts nurture their talent with challenging business-critical projects, extensive training opportunities and ongoing career development programs. They invest in their own futures by investing in their employees."
