Pros

People Who Know, Know BDO

Cons

The company sounded promising during the interview process, but the reality was quite different. Training and business practices are outdated compared to other firms and the internal culture is poor. Turnover is extremely high. Senior management sometimes makes subtle discriminatory remarks, such as commenting on international employees’ accents. I would advise future candidates to do careful research before joining. It’s also worth noting that the rating for a specific employee group suddenly increased by a noticeable margin from 2.8 to 3.7 within a year. This raises questions about the authenticity of some reviews, so I encourage future candidates to look beyond the overall score and read through individual comments carefully.

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.
