Pros

The job was pretty easy and the hours are quite predictable

Cons

The workflow is chaotic. I never know what I'm going to do at any point in time. I sometimes get requests from different heads and supervisors, sometimes none at all. I never know what to expect and I am always expected to look busy. I am also expected to (out of my own accord) look for extra work to do. Pay is modest at best. Upper management wouldn't even acknowledge my existence

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.
