Just left CLA as a tax manager/director. Pay was always subpar and the work is the same anywhere you go. My office was great and what kept me there (I was in socal).

Upper mgmt has been some questionable decisions recently. Most notably not allowing you to work within your office anymore. Not sure how you build a strong team/culture like that. Regional manager told me they aren't guna change back and it's not the place for me.

CLA now acts like the big 4. Not worth it.

What they show on LinkedIn and reality must be very different! On LinkedIn they are the best of the best, everyone is happy and it would seem like they have it together. They must be good at marketing their image.

Thanks. I was impressed with that training facility they launched in Minneapolis, but my guess is it is smoke and mirrors and most rank and file do not actually get to go to it. Am I correct?

I think this was specific to your office. I’m in the Midwest and what you described isn’t implemented in our region/office.

What do you mean you can’t work within your office?

CLA not the only ones following that scheduling model, same at Wipfli these days. Local culture hasn’t been valued for a few years.

Where did you leave to? Did you get another job that is projected to be better? It looks like all public accounting firms have their own issues.

Every office is different. It all depends on the teams you work with.

I'm at a target uni for Big 4 accounting. I applied for and received an offer for Summer 2023 Risk&FinancialAdvisory - Technology internship w Deloitte. I'd like to get into Big 4 consulting ideally when full-time. I'm an engineering student - I'm not going to be interested in IT audit. Summer 2023 will be the summer after sophomore year, so I'll be declining the full-time return offer and I'll be looking for a different internship after junior year.
