Pros

Most of the general population are good people.

Cons

There has been an immense amount of turnover (CFO, CRO, CMO, CTO and CIO have all left) due to the CEO. He is a basket case and has a god complex - the only way to succeed at this company is to cow tow to his unqualified whims. He keeps those around him that do whatever he says vs qualifications, made evident by the insane leaps he has made putting people in roles with zero experience. Annoyed that people like this are not outed by Blackstone who touts how rigorous its CEO program is. There were good, kind, well intentioned people in the finance department, but not worth it given the terrible nature of the exec team that remains who does nothing but follow the CEOs awful whims.

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'
