      I have been working at BDO for more than a year

      Pros

      Nice people and sociable culture.

      Cons

      They overhire for certain specialisations of forensic, when they don’t have the work to give people. This creates a situation where a lot of people are sitting around with no work to do and are bored out of their minds. Partners don’t seem concerned as the charge out rates are so high they can afford to have people sitting around on standby in case they land a big win. However, this is not conducive to people’s development or morale.
