      Great People, Okay Firm - Experienced Tax Associate BDO Employee Review

      Pros

      The people are what makes this firm great. They are always there to help and are genuine. There's flexibility to go to appointments or work from home when needed. The pay is okay and pretty on par with other firms. There is a free and fully stocked cafe for employees. During trainings and busy season, dinners will be provided 2-3 times a week.

      Cons

      The same complaints everyone has about public accounting applies. Long hours and lots of stress. We should get more time off during non busy seasons to help with work life balance and overall happiness. Once BDO became ESOP it has had significant budget cuts, mass employee firings, and more stress on profit over the wellbeing of their employees.

      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.
