Pros

- Generally good to work with colleagues who are willing to help you through the steep learning curve - Like most people would say, you learn a lot of things

Cons

- Put too many twenty somethings together in once place (audit department) just out of, or a couple of years out of uni, obviously with a lack of professional maturity and what you get is quite a stressful work environment - some colleagues haven't got a good grasp for work/life balance, or may get too personal (or take things too personally) with work - Anxiety haha - High staff turnover which is normal for the industry - but seems like management can do better by improving the remuneration package (below market rate) - High staff turnover result in staff being over worked

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.
