CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) reviews

Pay is low compared to industry standard

Dysfunctional, top-heavy, no training, sub-par product. CLA exploits both its employees and its clients. They have employees doing highly technical work they are not qualified or capable of doing for clients with no training. I would compare working here to working for a multi-level marketing company, the higher up you are, the less you do. Early/mid-career you will be exploited with minimal training and when a client catches an error because you are being forced to do work you are not trained to do, you will be blamed with no understanding that you were set up to fail. It is a blame-first culture. Pay is extremely low, no bonuses, no raises. A failing company, they only increased profits 3% in the last 2 years. A lot of poor, incompetent leaders/principals, and no accountability for the inept performance of principals. They conduct employee engagement surveys constantly and don't do anything with the negative feedback and protect the poor leaders. HR gaslights employees when they speak up about the toxic work environment and then a target is put on your back. Maybe CLA should look at the all the leadership levels and eliminate some of the useless deadweight leadership; maybe then they could be profitable.
