Pros

CRA is full of really bright people. They are dedicated to producing quality work product and providing the best advice to clients. It makes you want to be a part of the team.

Cons

The firm is not well managed at the top. It has made a bunch of disastrous acquisitions in recent years and the resulting poor performance has put stress on everyone in the organization. Layoffs have occurred and will continue to occur.
