Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at SolidWorks full-time for more than a year
Pros
Great work life balance. Good pay. Friendly co-workers.
Cons
Over regulated. Very little room for creativity. You are not given adequate tools to do your work effectively. Instead you have to rely on finding work-arounds for almost any development task. Extremely inefficient and slow software development environment. The managers are confused and lack leadership. Assignments are very vague, and it is almost impossible to get clear information on anything. Instead you have to rely on asking multiple people for guidance anytime you start a new project. Heavily dependent on third party libraries with almost no documentation. Very frustrating work-environment.
