Pros

Benefits are good and it is nice to work with intelligent people. Company tries to represent teamwork and cooperative spirit but....(see cons)

Cons

Salary freeze in 2009. Performance evaluations are meaningless. Work+life+fit is a joke when you actually need to have a life. Management is extremely careful not to document anything that can be used as proof of violations of discrimination laws and issues such as Family Medical Leave Act. BDO will force use of vacation time before you earn the maximum. Management will not discuss advancement and in some cases retaliates if you express interest in applying for other positions within the company. Beware of the "good old boy" network! Education assistance not available for administrative and finance positions.

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.
