Pros

Hmmm. Great leaving parties. They have become so good because they have had more than 50% of their employees leave in the past 12 months!

Cons

Where do you start. Don't. Don't start there at all... Start with reception which is the most unfriendly welcome you will ever receive. Move through to the empty desks that were once occupied by disgruntled employees, continue on to management that have given up hope and are preoccupied looking for other jobs and finish at the partners who don't think there is anything wrong with terrible engagement results year after year, 50% turnover, pay rises less than inflation and clients leaving in their droves. I will be very surprised if this office (on st lauret blvd) is still open in 2015. People who know, LEAVE BDO

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
