      Beware - Consultant Deal Advisory BDO Employee Review

      2.0
      May 26, 2025
      Consultant deal advisory
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Generally cordial working environment and friendly colleagues. At least on the surface. Good exposure to transactions / M&A work streams. Will definitely be valuable to your overall skills development and career growth, just maybe not within here.

      Cons

      Below market compensation. Be prepared to deal with a lot of office politics. Culture is set from the top. Progression is dependent on how your superiors see you - mostly impression-based rather than performance-based. No clear and objective guidelines on how to improve performance for supposedly non-performing / underperforming staff. Very clear from the onset who is favored and who is not. Leave if you are in the latter category.

      Pros

      Compensation is OK. There are some really nice people in the organization to work with, but you have to find them.

      Cons

      If you are not part of the SWC "club" (company name prior to them joining BDO), good luck. Poor leadership!!! Practice lead talks to everyone like they are talking to a CEO, not relatable in most cases. No clear employee development plans. You are held accountable for things completely outside of your individual control. They stress incorporating AI into work strategy, but have no plan on what that looks like or how to do it and want everyone to formulate it because leadership has no roadmap. One has no control over where you want to take your career, yet you are expected to know everything, about everything. As a result, you become an expert of nothing! Work assigned rarely leverages skills, almost as if they throw darts to see who works on what.
