Pros

Talented colleagues to work with

Cons

To save you from one-and-a-half year of agony, I highly recommend you not to join BDO Management Consulting. Executive director of the department has no ounce of leadership in him and has no clue about the application of the concepts. Also, managers are not trained in the consulting field, so don't expect to learn much from them. You will be managed down to the microscopic level. Above all, the company doesn't invest much in professional software like Marketline etc.... Everything is done by the power of Google. Without the bond, people will not last more than a couple months. Think carefully about your future before making the move although the job market can be quite difficult right now.

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.
