Vantaggi

Working with the team at Chamberlain was a great experience. Everyone at *that* level respects and understands each other’s role and works towards the common goal. The base income and incentive structure was at the high end of all comparable roles for which I received offers. Fully remote work with no in-office expectations.

Svantaggi

The executive leadership team is too indecisive, constantly second guessing their own decisions and having everyone scramble to justify moving forward in one way or another. They are highly opinion driven (a HIPPO culture), ignoring or dismissing most real data presented to them, and forcing teams to work backwards in order to use whatever data they can to justify leadership’s opinion (which changes week to week). Because of their indecision, they also micro manage product development to death (i.e., death by a thousand paper cuts) with dozens of meetings required to make simple product decisions. The ELT is so afraid to fail, the fear permeates through the entire organization with VP-level people afraid to make decisions without the blessing of the CEO. This environment ultimately leads to all decisions taking months, all work slowing down to a snails pace, and teams struggling to balance moving product development forward while bracing against the constant indecision/pivots from above.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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'
