      Pros

      Exposure to multitude of clients Nice office Good technology Benefits and Pension OK

      Cons

      Toxic working environment, bullying allegations brushed under the carpet, discrimination is a big part of day to day working and not uncommon for partners to ask for rules to be bent to keep clients happy. If you flag a concern, it becomes your problem to deal with. Older partners have established ‘protective bubbles’ over ineffective and poor performing members of staff to provide their own support network. It is advertised as a place with a lot of progression, which may be the case if you appease the partner at all times and provide no challenges.

      Pros

      Compensation is OK. There are some really nice people in the organization to work with, but you have to find them.

      Cons

      If you are not part of the SWC "club" (company name prior to them joining BDO), good luck. Poor leadership!!! Practice lead talks to everyone like they are talking to a CEO, not relatable in most cases. No clear employee development plans. You are held accountable for things completely outside of your individual control. They stress incorporating AI into work strategy, but have no plan on what that looks like or how to do it and want everyone to formulate it because leadership has no roadmap. One has no control over where you want to take your career, yet you are expected to know everything, about everything. As a result, you become an expert of nothing! Work assigned rarely leverages skills, almost as if they throw darts to see who works on what.
