Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Charles River Development full-time for more than a year
Pros
Salary is good; benefits are good; location is good; facilities are mostly pleasant.
Cons
I got told several times how the company president would walk down to the development team offices, start a discussion with a programmer, then get angry and fire him on the spot. This has generated a serious "climate of fear" that leads to a "every man for himself" approach, limiting collaboration and in-team support. Unpleasant atmosphere for doing real work. Culture is 45 hours per week or more.
