Pros

BDO is built on the accounting firm model to which an advisory business has been added and expanded over time. The people at BDO are excellent and by and large the pay is fair. Benefits are ok-to-good. Not as good as big tech but definitely better than most regional employers. I love the industry depth the company has, we can do some really unique things.

Cons

One weakness is that senior leadership has often "come up" within the Firm which limits outside DNA.

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.
