Pros

Friendly staff, flexible work hours and lots of opportunities for paid time off. Benefits are good, the flex $'s are high so you get a lot, they improved the health benefits last year and they're much better.

Cons

A lot of the leadership are former Big 4, they are mainly interested in recreating what they had. They lack imagination and suffer from an identity crisis, always comparing themselves to Big 4, yet saying they don't want to be like them anyway. RSP match is low.

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.
