Pros

You got a bump in salary if you came from outside

Cons

Too much favoritism, too much backbiting, a group that close to the people in power regardless of their talents destined to move up to position. People who represents real talents suffer too much and become workhorse and get blamed. Not a good environment if you want to enjoy the already stressful work in public accounting.

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.
