      Pros

      Hope people are having a more positive experience now and things have changed since my time there

      Cons

      The experience you received depended on favouritism. If you want strong experience is consultancy work and not mere compliance, stay away from BDO. Significant volume of compliance.

      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.
