Pros

While BDO is already a large public accounting firm, it is growing rapidly, particularly in tax. There is room for advancement at the company and they are pretty flexible when it comes to work and other obligations.

Cons

It will be a lot of work. Maybe too much to make it worthwhile. The long hours maybe too much for some people and the reward not great enough. Also, the environment is heavily work oriented, so much so, that words might not be spoken for hours.

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.
