Pros

There are a lot of good CPE classes and relevant assurance comments. In addition, you learn a lot on the job. There are a few really good partners to work for. Also, they have a good 401k plan.

Cons

Management expects a lot of employees and there is apparent favortism. There is no work life fit as they advertise. Also, there is no women's initiative- even though they claim that they have a program. In fact, they discriminate towards women in general- especially women who are married with children. There is no diversity within management. Also, there were a number of older partners who were forced into retirement.

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.
