Pros

Interesting products and some good people

Cons

This is where you come to burnout. Poor performance is tolerated so long as the poor performer is friends with enough of the Directors, VPs and ELT. Meanwhile, all of our top performers are being forced to carry the dead weight. Good people are either leaving or looking for jobs because they are exhausted. They made onsite attendance required for 3 days a week because the Leadership Team does not trust employees to work remotely, even after the entire company was remote for 3 years. They tried to spin the 3 day requirement as building "a collaborative culture", but all that has happened over the last month is a lack of direction, more work, infighting and finger pointing amongst various teams. The culture has changed from one where we lifted each other up to one were "if I'm going down, your coming with me."

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'
