Pros

The culture is amazing with a focus on openness, learning and teamwork.

Cons

Because it is a flat organization structure there is no clear ladder to climb.

Pros

-Generous salaries and bonus structures. 401K 1-1 matching is fantastic, once you're around long enough to accrue it. -Smart people who are kind and generally knowledgeable about their little niche of finance. -Weekly company-wide meetings are nice, if a bit empty in terms of actual content.

Cons

-Disorganized company. Lack of hierarchy sounds cool but in reality just means no one knows who is doing what. -The "Chatham Way" is to start and end meetings late. This same ideology guides the information (or lack thereof) that is disseminated to ground-level staff. -Staff is disproportionately family-men, ex-military, and religious folks. Almost entirely white. In a semi-diverse little town, it's startling. -Speaking of the town, Kennett Square is in the middle of nowhere! -Frat-like culture among the predominately-male younger employees. -10+ hours staring at a computer doing repetitive basic tasks is often due to poor communication between business and tech divisions (and the divide is deep). -Little variety or room for growth; prepare for repetitious niche work.

Pros

The compensation is competitive and in line with market rates. The company tries to encourage creativity and a relaxed atmosphere by allowing employees to dress casually to work.

Cons

While Chatham is very good at what it does, it is a very niche area in finance. If you looking for cross-training opportunities in the various areas of finance or just something more substantial or meaningful, this company is not for you. Also, if you care about a diverse work environment, know that Chatham is a predominantly white company. Location wise, it is located in the mushroom country of Chester county, about 45 miles from Philadelphia.
