Pros

CLA has some wonderful clients that you get to work with.

Cons

I don’t even know where to start, first off they care more about charge budgets than they do about their employees. They do not acknowledge their employees accomplishments like getting promoted, getting your CPA, etc. There is no positive feedback Extremely disrespectful leaders, I had to step down from my job due to personal family issues. When I put in my two week notice after 2.5 years of working hard, leading my group in charge hours. I was treated with disrespect, my principal hung up on me while I was giving my two week, and never talked to me about me leaving again. The other principal was cold and didn’t talk to me at all. No understanding of my already hard family issue.

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.
