Pros

Fantastic benefits and lots of time off...if you can take it. 28 days PTO and the firm is closed from Christmas to New Years. How happy you are here will depend on your small group and if you like the people.

Cons

Moving to an open concept work environment with no cube walls and no offices. Work spaces are essentially "hotel" counters with 2 monitors and a phone. Employees have a locker to keep personal items and a few files. Company is paperless, which is very rough sometimes. If your small group works from home a lot that can be ok, but if you have to work in the office, its a bear.

Pros

Compensation is OK. There are some really nice people in the organization to work with, but you have to find them.

Cons

If you are not part of the SWC "club" (company name prior to them joining BDO), good luck. Poor leadership!!! Practice lead talks to everyone like they are talking to a CEO, not relatable in most cases. No clear employee development plans. You are held accountable for things completely outside of your individual control. They stress incorporating AI into work strategy, but have no plan on what that looks like or how to do it and want everyone to formulate it because leadership has no roadmap. One has no control over where you want to take your career, yet you are expected to know everything, about everything. As a result, you become an expert of nothing! Work assigned rarely leverages skills, almost as if they throw darts to see who works on what.
