Pros

The culture team did a great job creating community, there were always mixers, events, or activities happening. The salary was competitive, and each assignment provided real opportunities to learn and grow. You also had the chance to collaborate with different sectors, which helped you understand various lines of business and the many approaches to consulting. The experience I gained in this role also played a meaningful part in shaping my career and preparing me for greater opportunities.

Cons

The business development team consistently showed favoritism when assigning new projects, which didn’t always align with skill or experience. They often connected staff with unvetted prospects who couldn’t realistically afford services, and performance was judged unfairly based on these interactions, which affected bonuses and promotions. Leadership would claim the pipeline was strong, only to announce layoffs shortly after, creating a constant sense of instability. The Healthcare Sector also made little effort to invest in staff development or team growth, leading to high turnover and low morale. Additionally, there was little to no diversity within Healthcare leadership or teams, which limited perspectives and contributed to an imbalanced work environment.

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.
