Pros

I have very few good things to say about this firm. I guess some of the people were pretty nice.

Cons

Nobody actually cares about you. CLA is a smaller firm that has the attitude that everyone is replaceable, when in fact my local office seriously struggled to keep and hire new employees. (Shocking!?!?!) Difficult to get staffed on engagements since everyone is hired to be "pooled" seniors will only staff their favorite employees on jobs and if you are not one of those few people you will never get any meaningful work. Quitting was the best decision I have ever made in my career.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
