Pros

New building is nice and conveniently located near the expressways. Workout room, walking path, green pond with algae, overpriced cafeteria, Work-life balance, open office concept, full glass exterior windows to let plenty of light in, and smart people. Co-workers were great!

Cons

Environment is very political. If you disagree with the political dictators and their pawns, you will be targeted as a trouble maker. Management protects their favorites and does nothing when they even know they are horrible to others. Other departments also see the political issues and the egotistic managers, but yet no one does anything to address the issue. People are too afraid to stand for whats right in fear of retaliation. It was difficult to move up in the company. They were very good at hiring from the outside and didn't focus on building the people within. The software area is held back by the company processes. Pace is very slow. Time tracking process is overly micromanaged, incompetent managers. Try another department or another company unless your into getting minimized in your position or love the politics.

Pros

Chamberlain is a highly variable place to work. Everything depends on what team you are working on. Some teams will have managers who will fight for you and help build you up, others not so much. I have more or less grown up with the company and have seen it go from being owned by a private family to being owned by Blackstone and all between. Every year I ask myself, "is this the year I leave". My answer is usually no, as where else will be better when I am at least in a good position? Summer fridays are pretty great though.

Cons

Yearly reorgs are a constant drag. Some of the most CG-blooded people I have ever known are somehow always the first to get sent to the wood chipper. People flail around and react. There is no forward thought. Just constant reaction to whatever words the executive population utters. We have been 'transforming' for the near decade I have worked here. But what are we even transforming to? All I have seen is us transforming into yet another soulless company. Benefits have been getting crushed. My wonderful and amazing 401k service contribution was ripped away and replaced with a far less beneficial amount. If you aren't on a good team, or have a good manager, your chance for advancement will be near impossible. Constant 'do more with less'
