Pros

The company values it's employees. They have respect for what you like to do outside of the office and have tried to put policies in place to ensure a good work life balance. There is great opportunity for advancement. I like my co-workers. I feel that my opinion is heard and that the partner group is willing to listen to new ideas and comments. I feel I am fairly compensated for my work.

Cons

Offices are typically small and you will find the small office politics can get annoying at times. We lack some of the technology of the larger firms.

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.
