Pros

Good people. Pays average to above average if you can survive the interview process. Good career opportunities and ability to move up. Pays for cell phone.

Cons

Most of these reviews are fake and promoted by HR. SWC can't retain the good people. I'm guessing the long hours and lack of vacation has something to do about it. 10 vacation days a year. 4 sick days. Most of the "fun" place to work stuff is all smoke and mirrors - you will be too busy to enjoy yourself unless you're in HR.

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.
