Our culture
Since our founding, we've conducted our business focused on personal and professional ethics and principle-based management and market research.

The core of our culture is personal integrity, respect for the individual, and doing what is in the long-term best interest for our clients and our company. The high caliber of people we hire ensures that our culture will continue to be the foundation for every action we take and every project we undertake, now and in the future.

Chatham employees share many common attributes that help drive our unique culture:

• We are honest, informative, and direct with our clients.
• We are committed to providing the highest quality product and the best client service for our clients.
• We embrace teamwork and strive to maintain a supportive and encouraging office environment.
• We are inquisitive and passionate about our work.
• We strive to maintain a positive and energetic outlook.
• We enjoy working with each other.

Our work
We believe that teamwork creates more value and generates more opportunities than individuals working alone. At Chatham, Analysts are active members on multiple projects throughout their tenure. They work collaboratively with other team members and are given the opportunity to learn from colleagues at all levels of the company.

A typical Chatham project team consists of a Research Analyst, an Associate Vice President, and a Relationship Manager. In most instances, an Analyst works on two or three projects simultaneously, each in various stages of start-up, implementation or analysis. The skills and knowledge Analysts develop come from hands-on experience with peers, managers, and clients.

Within the company, career progression and development is based entirely on merit. In addition to providing continuous feedback, our system of midyear and annual reviews guarantees that all members of our firm receive formal performance evaluations and constructive feedback that enable them to grow professionally. 

Outside of the Office
Chatham coordinates a number of activities outside the office in which employees can have fun and get to know each other. Chatham also hosts multiple off-site summer retreats that, in recent years, have included hiking, white water rafting, days at the beach, and other team building experiences.

Outside of organized Chatham activities, employees frequently organize group activities, such as intramural basketball, softball, and soccer. In addition, many employees dedicate time to volunteer opportunities, such as coaching and fundraising.
