Pros
Some very nice and smart people who are, generally, helpful and willing to share their knowledge.
Cons
Too many negatives to share all of them, but I'll try: - Senior leadership is completely out of touch with their team and among the worst leaders l've ever seen in a company. The CEO and his associates are wildly self-serving and aloof. The leadership team’s arrogance is palpable. Managers overseeing the various deal teams are extremely territorial and tend not to play well with others - This is a company where senior executives have lots of meetings yet nobody makes decisions. Lots of discussion about issues but very little problem solving and almost no accountability . - Senior executives are fiercely protective of their income and value of their equity holdings. This is at expense of rank and file employees - I've never seen more of a glass ceiling than at Chatham. So many good people are in a dead end role. MANAGERS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DEVELOP TALENT - Unfortunately, there is a small group of “insiders” who are part of an outside “unaffiliated “ organization who are largely protected within the organization. This contributes to the perception of divisiveness or cliquishness of the company - Extremely weak communication across business units, even though different business units call on the same clients! This creates tremendous inefficiencies in managing client relationships - There is a general lack of professionalism embedded in the company culture that is misrepresented as part of the firm’s “quirkiness". It’s an excuse for ineffective leadership!
