Pros

People are generally friendly, especially those in similar roles. Management is friendly when it is not within work context. Sick leave policy is very good.

Cons

Work environment is high pressure, with most managers focused on small details and micromanaging the team. You are judged if you leave the office on time, even if no overtime is required. Little flexibility in where to work from, expected to be in the office or at client site even when no benefit is to be gained. Progression is extremely slow, with no real guidance on how to be promoted. Audit methodology is interpreted differently by different managers. Discussing problems with your people manager goes nowhere. Office politics are big here.

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.
