Thanks for sharing a review. We think our atmosphere is pretty great, too! We know that certain times of year get very busy for some teams, and while we’re actively hiring to meet demand, we always welcome additional suggestions for ways CA can better support your work/life balance. - Shrina

Pros

I am entering my fourth year working for CA, and overall find my managers and upper management to be very respectful of personal time and flexible with scheduling needs around family and private life. There are very distinct busy seasons during which one oftens work more than 40 hours a week (including travel time), but also specific slow seasons where the work load is very light. The company culture has become more supportive and collegial over the time I have worked there, which has made it even better than when I started initially.

Cons

There is a lot of travel expected. Because the number of employees has grown over the last couple years there is less out of state travel, however in some regions there are still many overnights expected during the busy season. A pathway to advancement is also not super clear, and many management positions are filled from outside the company.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. We love hearing from our long-time employees and appreciate you calling out our supportive culture. We hear you about busy season and are actively hiring to grow support in many regions. To support your continued professional growth within the company, we encourage you to check out some of our career resources on our SharePoint site. We’re also hearing great things from employees using LinkedIn Learning to help achieve personal and professional goals. We understand that it feels like some management positions are filled externally. We have the fortune of speaking to many talented, qualified candidates for our open roles, and sometimes the best fit is someone new to CA. With that said, in the last year we’ve promoted 121 employees, with many moving into management roles! - Shrina
