Pros

The sky's the limit if you're willing to put in the work and produce clients. Success is recognized and awarded. But little tolerance for learning curves.

Cons

Clients stink. Some partners stink. Treat BDO as second class citizens in comparison to Big 4. No respect. Partners too greedy, penny wise and pound foolish. Do not take care of best employees, only favorite employees. Short term thinkers. ZERO planning and vision for future. Pay for upper levels is a joke in comparison to all the required hours.

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.
