Pros

The people at the manager/individual contributor level are so great to work with and are passionate about what they do. The pay and vacation plan are pretty good, too.

Cons

The company constantly changes directions and has zero strategic ability to think long-term. You regularly hear about the CEO's awful behavior, and it is very much a culture of finger-pointing. In terms of my personal experience, I felt like I was set up for failure from day one. The expectations of the role I had interviewed for changed significantly by the time I came on board due to org and responsibility changes. I was then laid off in a group meeting a few weeks before Christmas along with ~100 other employees. This was the third round of layoffs this year. I would advise you to stay away.

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'
