CliftonLarsonAllen is a top notch firm experiencing some post merger difficulties.
Pros
Very talented staff, state of the art technology. Large firm with lots of opportunities to specialize in many different areas. If you are just starting out you will get exposure to many different areas. Management is working on standardizing systems, procedures, policies, etc.
Cons
There have been quality, experienced employees let go to provide room for seniors and managers to move up. Some pre-merger partners were not offered partnership in the new firm. Many employees have been moved from full-time to seasonal or "as needed" and no longer have benefits. Many of the remaining full-time staff have been working more than their contracted hours without additional compensation. Some partners have asked part-time staff to work without recording their time, or approving time for training or travel.
