Underneath the BDO brand, everything about the firm is extremely localised and nothing like it aspires to be. - Anonymous employee BDO Employee Review

Sub par management, mostly from Big Four coming here to get a second shot at their career objectives. Very poor infrastructure due to extremely tight cost control. Very limited IT, HR and Marketing Communications departments which exist for the sake of existing. Staff are here just so that they can move on to the Big Four later on, hence the bond, and the firm knows that deep down. Current salary level is the same for more than 6 years. Yet despite all this, the firm aims to be the "Big Five". Former colleagues who moved on to the Big Four all agreed that the Big Four are just way ahead professionally, socially, culturally, etc.
