Pros

The people you work with are great

Cons

Partners does not appreciate the your effort. Partners communicate one thing and when it comes to there jobs, everything goes out the window. No work life balance, if you enjoy working 12-14hours day, it is a place for you. Lack of resources to support an actual audit. Partners care more about recovery rate than the mental health of its employees. Work are pushed up constantly, more junior members are not well trained. A significant number of experienced managers and seniors resigned due to work life balance, instead of recruiting good candidates, Partners has decided bum on sit is better. Due to the number of experienced employees resigning, Partners decided to promote numerous not yet ready candidates to sent a more positive message to the rest of the team despite push back from managers that actually work with these candidates comments.

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.
