- A lot of knowledge and experience in different industry you can gain - Good teamwork and bonding (if you are lucky to join a great team) - A stepping stone to jump commercial

Cons

- Company bond of 1.5 years - Laptop bond of 3 years, with mark up very high price - Slim bonus, the cut off date (Sep) and payoff date (Mar next year) are unfair - Management won't care about your heavy work load, keep delegating works and all must be met the deadline - Appraisal system is fail and unfair

Pros

There actually are great people, but you play manager roulette.

Cons

BDO is notorious for promoting people who just never leave. The middle of the road, not great, not awful, people get promoted over and over again. There have been changes every 3 seconds since the ESOP. Terrible communication around change (non-existent). My manager's favorite term was "We are building the plane as we fly it". After 4 years, I was hoping to have more plane built. It was never built.
