Pros

A few talented people still remain who care deeply about clients. The firm once had a respected culture under its founder, but that’s long gone.

Cons

The role I was sold and the reality were completely different. No clear vision or strategy. The CEO is out of his depth and the board is asleep at the wheel. Resting on past reputation while running on outdated tech, slow processes, and a lack of trust and transparency. Once respected, now cultish and everything wrong with corporate America. People are leaving in droves. Those who question leadership are pushed out. Non-compete restrictions and shareholder structures trap people instead of empowering them. This company is on the decline and unlikely to exist in the long-term.

Pros

Beautiful campus. Standing desks. Casual dress. Smart people.

Cons

Very unclear on what the company goals are. Different sectors seem to be on different paths and there is no clear communication on how or even if the company is going to grow beyond where it is now. Chatham offers certain people a lot of flexibilty that is often taken advantage of and as a result you have a select few people who seem to carry the majority of the work load.
