Pros

Got several promotion over 7 years. They hired a lot of peoples from big four recently. This is probably why the branding of BDO completely have changed overtime.

Cons

Focus is not on clients anymore but only on profit margin. They said to me that I am meeting too often the clients... They fired me (like my boss) suddenly without any notice and did not give any explanation to me. Don't go there: when your salary is too high, they will replace you with someone with a lower one... again and again.
