Pros

If you are badly in need of a job

Cons

HR is a mess, they have a employment bond policy of 18 months to prevent high turnover rates in short terms. Management is extremely short sighted, and only care about their bottom lines and margins. Company instills a lot of punitive policies to punish employee to desired actions rather than work to create a better environment to make people stay. Pay is bad, below market average, and they have no plans to work on it. They claim that there is no point paying better as people are always leaving. All in all, it is a bad place to grow one's career. Firm is not interested in helping people grow, and always complain that employees are too picky even though that the firm is not offering any competitive rewards at all.

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.
