Pros

I guess the canteen is quite nice

Cons

Think of the worst people you know. Now think of how they could be even worse, now you’ve got the long standing people at BDO. There’s such a hostile atmosphere there and HR are very aware but only support senior people. There are MANY women at the place. Shame they’re all PAs with disgusting attitudes. The senior PAs often bully people. Very unprofessional! Did I mention they underpay? Yep. Overworking and underpaying is the backbone of this place.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
