Pros

Communication up and down hierarchy is fluid. Never a shortage of work

Cons

CLA pretends to be anything but a big firm that treats their employees like small firms do, but they exactly what they claim not to be. They treat you like a number and claim to have your career at front of mind regardless of the path you wish to take. But, if you express a desire to move else where, location and career wise, and you don't propose the idea to quit on your own. They will pull every move to make you miserable enough to quit. Do not start here if you aren't sure where you want to end up career wise. Turnover is way too high and management has too much on their plate.

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.
