Another thing to think about–even if you have considered all the above questions–will my firm make good use of my having the CFA charter?  If the answer is no, I’d keep it to myself.
One thing I’ve noticed–companies like you to have your mind on your job.  If your mind is constantly thinking about the test (which it will be–I guarantee), then you’re not thinking about your job.  If they know that you’re thinking about the CFA exam and not your job, they won’t be happy.
Granted–you’ll still be exam-centric whether you tell them about it or not, but at least you might slip through the cracks if you don’t advertise that you’ve got other things on your mind.
