Chatham Financial reviews

Employees more concerned with their own egos than they are working as a team to efficiently and effectively get items accomplished for the client. Had a Big 4 environment and work expectation but not the salaries, benefits, or flexibility that goes along with Big 4. No sense of consistent guidelines or processes, so there was very "Wild West" and chaotic feel to the office. Felt there were constant fire drills and stress, due to the lack of processes, governance, and accountability. There were a few key people that were bottlenecks that were extremely overworked while others slipped by with the bare minimum which was extremely frustrating to watch first hand. Finally, I don't feel the company ever actually acted on internal problems. The same conversation would be had for months on end with no follow through and no resolution, so the problem chain seemed constant with no clear path on how to make issues better longer term.

Productivity is very low. Chatham seems to have adopted a low stress, low productivity, low expectations, low salary culture. I've never heard a manager reprimand an employee. This culture is pushing high-achievers out because there's little incentive to perform past expectations. The lack of upward mobility also contributes to this.
