Pros

Really nice office in NYC with snacks, drinks and comfortable work stations. Some of the benefits are pretty good, specifically the health insurance options.

Cons

This company is totally inequitable. Leaderships gives themselves enormous bonuses while all lower level staff, who are beholden to much higher billable hours and admin work, hardly get anything comparable. The company also just got converted to an ESOP last year so you can only imagine what all the principals and above received in terms of a disgustingly huge buy out. No care for work life balance, lacks diversity unless your entry level and no transparency for anything.

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.
