Pros

Learned that bosses (equity partner) are really a typical "China man" mindset business owner. Making you to realise how cruel is the bosses can be when making decisions between profit vs employee welfare.

Cons

Bosses (equity partner) is money oriented. Employees is always treated as a tool no matter how long you worked with them. HR were making efforts to introduce better culture and bringing in more fresh graduate, however HR were having limited resources as bosses only approve limited budget. Current situation of firm as of March 2022: 1)majority of new joiner quit in few months time 2)3months experience staff was being promoted to senior to fill up the gap (mass resignation of senior) 3)workforce shortage lead to higher workload and tighter dateline. 4)Engagement team size shrunken to 50% smaller than previous year team size, however workload remained. 5)Management did not hold their promise made in townhall meeting. Promises are being fulfilled in a not very sincere way. e.g: promise to introduce one week firm break but end up giving us a week break during public holidays week.

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.
