Vault Verdict

CRA has a distinctly boutique feel in Europe—a status that has both pluses and minuses for insiders. While the firm has a lot to offer for those who are happy to carve their own niche, and who don’t mind lower support levels than might be available elsewhere, it’s likely not the best fit for those seeking a highly structured experience.

For those who do fit the CRA mold, the rewards and client work on offer are certainly appealing, making this a good option to progress your career.
