Pros

Professional environment, great technology, flexible, lots of relevant CPE. Clientele is middle market and gives you exposure to all kinds of transactions and situations. Potential for international travel.

Cons

Pressure to maintain heavy workload depending on size of office, turnover at lower levels. This is all normal stuff related to public accounting at a national level - it is not unique to BDO.

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.
