Pros

Very smart co-workers, most managers have advanced degrees. Work-life balance can be good if staffed on the right project. Fairly generous travel policies.

Cons

Work can be very dull and monotonous for junior staff. Be prepared to spend our organizing data in Excel or SAS or combing reports for random facts and figures.

Pros

CRA gives younger employees skills that they need and a background that will make them successful in other jobs or in graduate school.

Cons

Even if you perform very well in your job, it is pretty much essential that you obtain a graduate degree to move up in the company.

Pros

Analysts and Junior level staff have the opportunity to contribute and engage in useful discussion with senior employees and clients.

Cons

Due to the small size of the company relative to other consultancies, sometimes it appears to be quite under-staffed when several projects are one in the same period and it appears over-staffed when there are no projects aroun.
