Pros

Small atmosphere and helpful staff. Sometimes work was slow and there was nothing to do. Coworkers were friendly and helpful. It was a good learning experience. IT and technology was very impressive. The company had a nice flex program and gave lots of opportunities to work from home. Networking was easy. Lots of young people to work with. Upper management was easy to reach and accessible.

Cons

Lots of travel. Be prepared for fluctuating hours. Sometimes role was unclear. In this office, diversity was low. Not many minorities employed at all. Salary was a market rate and was not anything special. Career promotion track was typical of any public accounting firm.

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.
