BDO reviews

Hours is what kills the job. Lack of training. Sink or swim mentality the moment you get out of training which are just videos. Too many hours and not enough pay. There’s a reason everyone starting off is on the younger side. No job is worth these amount of hours for the starting salary.

No work-life balance, but is not unique to this company. They had a program called BDO Flex which was so vague in definition and I don't know a single employee at BDO that could prove the concept of workplace flexibility in Public Accounting. . This seemed like Performance Art that we joked about when we were in the Office on Saturdays and Sundays. d You have very little influence on what clients you get to work on and this is especially evident when you have continuity and seniority in a certain engagement and industry. I feel like you would have to advocate very aggressively for yourself to switch engagements and most do not have that confidence at this stage The slow delivery of feedback feeds a culture of paranoia and you have most employees, fresh out of school, thinking they are getting fired.
