CA Make My Life Better

Pros

Thanks to working at CA, I was able to buy a house shortly after getting married. Previously, it had been a difficult thing to figure out where to buy because my husband and I commuted in opposite directions. Since CA treats employees like responsible adults and lets us work remotely, we found a house within our budget, closer to my husband’s office, and close enough to our families to see them every weekend. We couldn’t have done that without CA. Without a commute, I have more time to prepare healthy meals and exercise. We are also in the process of becoming foster parents, which CA has shown a lot of support for. My immediate team is very excited for us and will work with any scheduling conflicts. CA at large has updated the parental leave policies to specify fostering. I also appreciate the DEIB work the company is doing. Practice makes progress. Hopefully we will slowly but surely make the products and be the company we aspire to be.

Cons

I know this is new, but a clearer policy for fostering would be helpful. With all of the unknowns in the foster care system, additional clarity from CA would be comforting. Also, I have been an editor for a long time. When I consider trying something new, I'm afraid of losing the security and benefits at CA to try. This is not a position I've ever found myself in before. There was some over-promising around DEIB. I think the company has been transparent about shifts and am still hopeful, though this is not how everyone feels.

We are thrilled to hear how CA's flexible work environment has impacted your life for the best! Our compensation team works hard to ensure that compensation is competitive- candidates should feel free to speak openly about salary needs when speaking with a recruiter.
