Pros

None that very stand out

Cons

My experience with (CLA) was disappointing. Communication throughout the engagement was often delayed or unclear, which made it difficult for me to get timely updates or have my concerns addressed effectively. I also noticed a consistent lack of attention to detail, and several deliverables required multiple corrections—raising concerns about the firm's internal quality control. What concerned me even more was the involvement of a so-called family member affiliated with the firm. Their presence appeared to compromise the objectivity and professionalism I expected, and at times, it felt like their relationship with the firm influenced the engagement in ways that were not appropriate. In addition, there was noticeable staff turnover and a lack of experience on the team, which led to inefficiencies and recurring errors. Given CLA’s reputation, I had higher expectations for both technical expertise and professionalism. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short. I hope CLA takes this feedback seriously and works to improve its internal processes, client communication, and ethical boundaries—especially when personal relationships are involved.

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.
