Pros

Pay, they pay above industry standard... great healthcare... ummmm they produce a GREAT product...

Cons

OMG.. where do i start.. I cannot divulge my typical statements.. so .. lets start 1. IT management couldn't manage they way of a paper bay if it were wet and they were holding a pair of scissors 2. People.. there are some honestly good people there, keeping their heads down getting by day to day hoping this is not their day to meet with HR. 3. If you like POLICY.. this place is for you.. they are so heavy on POLICY it's sinking their ship 4. Some people, instead of owning up to their mistakes, taking ownership, they deflect it so their own insecurities and lack of capabilities. 5. HR.. yes, HR.. there are some AWESOME people in HR.. honestly, there are GREAT people. 6.. Vacation time - use it or lose it 7. MOST of the staff in Mexico are scared for their jobs DAILY, they cannot go to their manager for ANYTHING.. especially the IT guys and gals.. 8, They just moved to a new building, owners Duch's are going to see since their product is in a nice shiny new building and go back into the rail business where they earned their BILLIONS. The Duch's can care less about the staff, as long as they earn their millions.

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'
