Pros

Fantastic benefits and lots of time off...if you can take it. 28 days PTO and the firm is closed from Christmas to New Years. How happy you are here will depend on your small group and if you like the people.

Cons

Moving to an open concept work environment with no cube walls and no offices. Work spaces are essentially "hotel" counters with 2 monitors and a phone. Employees have a locker to keep personal items and a few files. Company is paperless, which is very rough sometimes. If your small group works from home a lot that can be ok, but if you have to work in the office, its a bear.

Pros

*Fair Compensation and Benefits *Excellent work/life balance policies and time off around holidays *Great coworkers both locally and nationwide Overall BDO is generally a very fair employer and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a job in this industry and this city.

Cons

I want to preface this by saying my department was in a state of flux the entire time I was with BDO and I don't believe my experience is representative of the company as a whole, especially for the actual accounting and audit side of things. *Little to no useful training and ill-defined job parameters *Non-existant formal feedback from managers *Unclear path of advancement *Feel left out of the big picture--little sense of direction or goals as a lower-tier employee I came to BDO through a merger as part of the acquired company's marketing team. Upon acquisition the new leadership left our job roles largely undefined for several months and assigned us a manager who was soon promoted to a different position. While I believe the company is going through growing pains and figuring things out, ultimately the leadership in my department felt very disorganized.
