Pros

Flexibility in hours, opportunities for growth, and gender/diversity inclusive

Cons

No support for mental health. No support for neurodivergent individuals. Department keeps reorganizing and renaming. Unfair salary dispersion for location even though most, if not all, of advisory department works virtually. Lack in transparent compensation amongst departments/levels/locations. New York workers are specially favored with more pay, more perks, more internal activities and support. Upper management extremely disconnected from lower levels and act with a superior complex treating subordinates rudely and undermining.

Pros

Compensation is OK. There are some really nice people in the organization to work with, but you have to find them.

Cons

If you are not part of the SWC "club" (company name prior to them joining BDO), good luck. Poor leadership!!! Practice lead talks to everyone like they are talking to a CEO, not relatable in most cases. No clear employee development plans. You are held accountable for things completely outside of your individual control. They stress incorporating AI into work strategy, but have no plan on what that looks like or how to do it and want everyone to formulate it because leadership has no roadmap. One has no control over where you want to take your career, yet you are expected to know everything, about everything. As a result, you become an expert of nothing! Work assigned rarely leverages skills, almost as if they throw darts to see who works on what.
