Pros

Lots of freedom. Book clubs, hack weeks, a free coffee machine, standing desks - this place tries to make you feel comfortable. It also lets you work on what interests you. Your immediate boss truly cares if you're happy at work.

Cons

Productivity is very low. Chatham seems to have adopted a low stress, low productivity, low expectations, low salary culture. I've never heard a manager reprimand an employee. This culture is pushing high-achievers out because there's little incentive to perform past expectations. The lack of upward mobility also contributes to this.

Pros

One of the best parts about working at this company is the opportunity to learn across different functions and gain exposure to a wide range of projects. The environment allows employees to develop both technical and professional skills quickly, especially through collaboration with experienced team members. I also appreciate the fast-paced culture, which encourages growth, adaptability, and problem-solving. The experience has helped me better understand operations, teamwork, and how different parts of the business work together.

Cons

One challenge of working at the company is that there can sometimes be a heavy amount of operational and repetitive work, which may limit opportunities to focus on more strategic or analytical projects. In certain situations, processes and responsibilities could be better organized to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary workload. Communication between teams can also occasionally be unclear, leading to duplicated efforts or delays. Improving workflow structure could help employees be more productive and engaged.
