Pros

Good people, lot of smart and determined talent

Cons

This is a company that is working to fill shareholder pockets, even though they think they're creating products for customers. Company goals are so unrealistic they have never been met in my entire tenure, although the company always makes record profits year over year. If you are an employee that is lucky enough to get a bonus, you will feel like you are fighting an uphill battle from day 1. Employees are constantly burnt out, though leadership refuses to see it and find ways to manipulate their employee surveys to say employees are "so happy". Leadership does not celebrate wins. Very leadership heavy organization with too many VPs, directors and c suite that micro manages at the CEO level. ELT is COMPLETELY out of touch with employees. Promotions and hiring were frozen to make bottom line more profitable. After just recruiting and hiring heavily on remote/work from home policy for the past year, they pulled the rug out from all work from home employees and are making them come back to the office/travel once a month to office. Obvious that such a move is a way to reduce headcount without mass layoff headlines.

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'
