Pros

Chatham is a solid company with talented people and meaningful work. For the first several years of my time there, I worked under strong managers who trusted their teams, encouraged collaboration, and allowed engineers to operate with autonomy. The culture during that period was supportive, and I felt enabled to do high-quality, impactful work. Overall, the company has a strong foundation and many capable individuals.

Cons

After a reorganization introduced a new QA Manager and Director structure, the experience within QA declined. QA Leadership became highly control-driven, with frequent micromanagement, rigid processes, and an excessive focus on compliance rather than outcomes. Decision-making became centralized, autonomy was reduced, and day-to-day work felt constrained. This shift negatively affected morale, engagement, and overall effectiveness within the QA function.
