Pros

Flexibility with work schedules when possible. Open communication system where individuals can easily voice their opinions both anonymously and/or directly. Interact directly with partner at lower levels. Great exposure to the entire audit at lower levels. Can take on as much responsibility as you feel you can handle at lower levels.

Cons

Depending on turnover and client needs, may be subject to work a little overtime during non-busy season period (however, local office has been doing a great job in making sure that individuals are not overwhelmed)

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.
