Pros

Lot's of opportunities to shape ones contribution to the team and have an impact on meaningful internal and customer topics early on. Although, still a niche player in consulting - numerous opportunities to work with interesting clietns on high impact engagements. No overreaching emphasis on being billable all the time (might differ strongly from team to team).

Cons

Lack of clearly visible goal and orientation, highly imbalanced workload between employees, not insignificant pay differences across teams and departments.

Pros

There actually are great people, but you play manager roulette.

Cons

BDO is notorious for promoting people who just never leave. The middle of the road, not great, not awful, people get promoted over and over again. There have been changes every 3 seconds since the ESOP. Terrible communication around change (non-existent). My manager's favorite term was "We are building the plane as we fly it". After 4 years, I was hoping to have more plane built. It was never built.
