      Pros

      Great way to earn experience in a variety of industries and in performing various arrest and non-attest services. The culture is great and communication from the staff to partner level is direct. BDO definitely cares about its people and will work to keep you happy in your position as best as possible.

      Cons

      Long hours, even when "busy-season" is over. Expect a lot of travel. This isn't specific to BDO though, this is just public accounting in general.

      So pleased to hear you are off to a great start in your career with us. Now....the question will be....what will keep you in the industry and with BDO? On the hours we of course need to be reasonable and ensure you have a time and place to replenish your energy to do your best work. If you're not getting that, speak with your career advisor or managing partner: this is a marathon not a sprint. If you've got ideas I can help advance, please come to me. I'd love to bring the benefit of that to over 6000 BDOers!

      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.
