Pros

Nothing good about the company! Everyone can’t wait to leave. Except those managerial or management waiting for their retirement! Can go out to snake, tea break or smoking break for every hour. Every staff tends to stayback late, for the management to have impression that they are hardworking. Go out for long hours dinner, come back chit chat, pack & leave. Come in late through the back doors the next morning.

Cons

Worst remuneration package, lowest among all small firm. 18 months bond, 3 years laptop bond, with 12 days annual leaves. Managers & partners are there to create politics rather than provide a good working environment for the staffs. Senior manager will just throw everything to you and starting to play blaming games when any anything goes wrong. No briefing or discussion throughout the engagement, will only look for u when the deadline comes near.

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.
