Good pay, nice office, not a great company culture - Project Manager Charles River Associates Employee Review

Pros

My time with CRA was brief. I enjoyed the work that I did and got along well with my team.

Cons

The company (or at least the office I was in) had issues with diversity. There were very few African-Americans in high paying positions. I heard someone speaking down to a black gentleman my first day and regret not saying anything about it. I was also surprised sometimes by the lack of organization there considering their reputation. The impression I got was that for minorities, getting ahead at CRA is an uphill battle.

Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We are sorry you have this impression of CRA, as we do not think it is representative of our values nor the broader CRA experience of our colleagues. More specifically, it is never acceptable to speak disrespectfully to a colleague. We encourage our colleagues to speak to their manager or Human Capital should such situations occur so that we can address and take the proper remediation steps. Although you note that you are no longer with CRA and your time with us was brief, I would be happy to speak with you further if you’d like to contact me directly. -- Jen Kordell, CHRO
