Business outlook
Pros
There is a good work/life balance at BDO and it is encouraged by senior management. This isn't one of these firms where there is relentless pressure to bill hours (as a fomer attorney, I can appreciate this approach). Also, the work environment was collegial, I more or less got along with everyone I worked with.
Cons
Career advancement opportunities are limited. Maybe it's the division I worked in, but I felt the opportunities for advancement were lacking. I maybe being a bit too harsh, though, since our clients are all financial services companies and we all know how well they're doing. Also, in between assignments, there can be too much downtime. One can only do so much business development before it becomes ineffective.
