Pros

Free fruit and coffee. Some people are genuinely nice (although few and far between)

Cons

Lack of diversity - subtle racism. They are great at making you feel left out and not leaving obvious evidence so you’re not able to raise it to anyone Passive aggressive people - sarcasm and opinions not taken into consideration Subtle acts of showing you’re not valued - things like no welcome lunch, no buddy, not getting a locker compared to other people Unclear progression pathway - need to beg if you don’t fit in, even if you have good merit ratings. Other people who fit in can get away with not doing work whereas you work so hard only to get the finger Partners who only care about profits - They lie and make you feel like they’ll do something for you but goes through HR for “bad news”. No guts to speak to you in person

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.
