Pros

Public accounting experience in your resume

Cons

The company terminates people without proper explanation or warnings. The company doesn’t really differentiate between good or great employees and with the lack of training it will be hard for a good employee to become a great one.

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.
