Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Career Growth & Development

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Employee Reviews

Aside from the people, I would say the opportunities to grow and take on new challenges make the Chicago Fed a good place to work. I have had the opportunity to take on new and exciting roles throughout my career at the Fed and have always been greeted with encouragement.

The Federal Reserve provides endless opportunities. As an analyst, I get to work on a variety of tasks that help in the development of my career; this is something a lot of companies do not offer.

The Chicago Fed offers an opportunity for someone to bring their best to the organization and supports employees in taking advantage of job shadows, rotational assignments and being engaged in "stretch" assignments.
