Why CRA

Financial Economics, North America

“What we do day in and day out is not soft consulting where we only review policies and procedures. What we do tends to be rigorous, academic, empirical, and analytical. My practice utilizes evolving versions of statistical and econometric textbooks in our work on a regular basis. We recruit staff that are bright and more recently trained on these specific techniques, but we also have senior staff who have a strong understanding of these areas and who are expected to consistently explain these concepts to clients.”

“Because project teams are newly created for each client engagement, every member plays a very important role. The juniors staff work closely with the data, and because the project manager and testifying expert are not as familiar with details of the data, the juniors are valuable assets to the team. As a key player, you are constantly developing technical and “softer” skills including collaborating on ideas, balancing simultaneous projects and responsibilities, communicating with your project managers and VPs, and articulating your analyses in writing. Every day in the office brings another opportunity to learn.”

“At CRA, we never stop learning. Each new case is an opportunity to apply economics – both empirical and theoretical – to real world problems, and that keeps the job from ever getting boring!”

“I joined the volunteer committee when I first started at CRA as a way to give back to the community while also meeting some of my new colleagues. Every year we partner with Stockings with Care to provide holiday gifts for children in homeless shelters. We receive a list with the children’s names and their holiday wishes (presents they would like) and ask our NY colleagues to sign up to be a “Santa” or contribute to the Santa Fund. After everyone has purchased the presents, we gather for a gift-wrapping party with mulled wine and cookies, listen to holiday music and wrap all the presents. Over the years I’ve loved the opportunity to get to know colleagues from different practices. Being part of the committee also expands my appreciation for leadership’s support for grass-roots initiatives.”

“Outside of project work, I am involved in a Business Development initiative within the practice. We are tracking Trade Secret cases to be more up to date on the issue and increase our expertise and knowledge in that area to better serve our clients. These business development initiatives are important because they contribute to the growth of the practice outside of project work. It has given me an opportunity to gain new skills while helping my practice.”

“Ever since learning Python online in college, I have always loved the simplicity and flexibility that comes with writing programs in it. CRA’s Tech Lab series provided the perfect opportunity to share my knowledge and passion for the program with my colleagues. Using simple, interactive, and relevant training materials, I hope I conveyed just how easy, effective, and fun it can be to use Python here at CRA.”

“Having seen a few companies, I believe that health insurance benefits are a big indicator of how much a company cares. CRA chooses to offer a very good plan and spends the effort to ensure that we have good coverage. At CRA, it is people first. CRA focuses on doing a good job with essential needs. I like that the Benefits Team tries to make life easier for us. Everybody is friendly.”
