Pros

I worked in the Charlotte office in audit and there's a lot to love about BDO. Management is very supportive and always has their door open for questions or suggestions. Not uncommon to be able have genuine conversation with partners on down to managers. Very family like atmosphere with great people which is why I chose BDO over big 4. Opportunity and potential for advancement is on par if not better than big 4. Lots of visibility. Work life balance is really good for public accounting. Management will go out of their way to let you know how much they appreciate your hard work and will treat you well, especially during busy season.

Cons

Sometimes the hours are long, but keep in mind that's an industry wide thing. Also the hours for busy season are pretty reasonable compared to other firms.

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.
