Pros

Work from Home is good

Cons

No Bonuses or lack of lack of promotions (depends on department) slowly becoming an indian firm (BDO Rise) Lack of talent (short staffed) Long hours very political (they wont give firm wide market adjustments, they will pick and choose) a senior can be making 110K next to you, and you're getting 85K Pushy partners asking for working to be done in an unrealistic time and following up often, they simply need to review. working multiple clients busy season after busy season, never ending high stress stay away, its not worth it

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.
