Pros

Pay is fair. Great non management people to work along side. If you have previous extensive experience in consultancy and can hit the ground running then you might stand a chance. But be VERY careful. I left my previous job to come to BDO Eaton square because I thought the grass was greener.... it's not.

Cons

No direction, no structure. Overworked, you'll have about 5 projects on the go at any one time. Minimal training provided - you must find the training and train yourself. Management only seem to care about money and not about their staff. Just ask them how many people have left recently...

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.
