      Pros

      Competitive salary, good benefits. The majority of co-workers are friendly and work together to accomplish the task. Very interesting work and clients.

      Cons

      Current office culture consists of only white male partners with little concern for female advancement or work life balance. The females are not invited to the majority of the BD opportunities or potential client meetings due to client responsibilities. The office currently has no African American employees. The television in the lobby is kept tuned to Fox News at all times. Old boys network.

      This is an important set of perceptions. We encourage our people through advisors and HR professionals to "speak up" to always elevate our commitment to an inclusive world class people environment and be part of making us the best place to work. Our commitment to diversity is demonstrated throughout our recruiting and retention strategies but always we would like more representation by a more diverse pool of talent. Our women's inclusion programs also (now nearly 15 years in!) provide support and advice for the advancement of women. We're proud of tremendous survey results from our Columbus team, but would like the opportunity to address any challenges faced by the minority of those who aren't feeling they are thriving.

      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.
