Charles River Development Reviews

Pros

You will be doing IT support without any background/knowledge in the IT field.

Cons

You work with people who are film majors and not really any IT people. You are surrounded with people who lack technical knowledge. You are paid hourly and benefits such as bonus are at the discretion of management (which you may not get).

Pros

Work with very skilled people Decent benefits

Cons

Long hours 30 minute lunch if you are an hourly employee Lots of finger pointing when things go wrong Early 90s work feel and culture Not a lot of positions to get promoted to There is no work from home option for people working in the lower ranks.

Pros

Higher than industry standard salary, Gym, Smart people around. There is a hope to modernize product/solutions technically. 4 weeks vacation from first year.

Cons

Legacy product, lot of over engineered solutions and very hard to understand them. Almost every engineers work from Burlington office and the teams lack a global work environment culture. Health benefits are not good.

Pros

Good benefits and holidays pay

Cons

Seriously under staffed. People keep leaving because your expected to work weekends and they don't give you the days back in lieu so you actually get less holidays that you think!

Pros

For new grads like me who are on F1, this place is great because they'll file you an H1B. The benefits are great along with package. From what I have heard, the holidays given are more then other industries. If you enjoy Java, this is the right place.

Cons

There is no 'after work' life here. Difficult to meet and mingle with other employees here. From my experience here, people here just do their 9-5 and leave. You bring your food, you eat at your desk and leave. There isn't really companies own cafeteria to get to know other employees. While I write this, I feel everyone who is at this company is for the money, nothing else. Cons include a bit on company using a lot of legacy dated tools only such has no Intellij nor Jira. So, if you keep doing what you are told at the company, you'll be left really behind the pack. You gotta be lucky to get a good manager because like it said other people commenting here, micro-management is a thing in this company, BE WARE.
