CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) Assurance Associate interview questions

I met with two principals, a kind of good cop bad cop interview technique. I was impressed by the culture, the idea of choosing career paths within a CPA firm which is uncommon. For the most part you spend 3 years at a CPA firm and leave if you don't make Management/Partner. They have a different philosophy and we spent the bulk of the interview discussing this and career advancement opportunities, specifically longevity,

I was interviewed by the Regional / Office Principal, along with a Principal from their Financial Institutions industry. There were no "stunners". They wanted to know my status on obtaining my CPA license, and whether I was planning on getting my 150. They also asked where I saw myself in five years.
