Pros
Decent pay. Free coffee. Nice amenities. The majority of people at BDO are great to work with and very talented - this review only applies to a small group within consulting.
Cons
I can only speak for a segment of the consulting group but... Very long hours. NO work life balance! You're a slave to the billable hour. No time to eat lunch or even use the rest room. Tons of micromanagement!!! Your every move is monitored. Unnecessarily punitive. The work wasn't hard but they work you like a machine and don't treat you like a human being. Zero human interaction. The competition between you and your coworkers is unhealthy - someone is always waiting to throw you under the bus. No one seemed happy. In fact, everyone seemed scared.
