Pros

- Was able to land a great exit opportunity - Great learning experience - learned a lot from top down - Trainings are informative - national training was a great experience (pre-covid) - Majority of people are really awesome to work with (and hang out). I still keep in touch with many even after leaving the company - Some Managers and Partners willing to dive into trenches during fieldwork when needed

Cons

- Ridiculous long hours on public companies - Seniors are powerless when planning team composition on recurring clients - Pay could be better

Business Outlook

Pros

- Close to South Coast Plaza and amazing food - If you get on the right jobs WITH the right team and right client, you'll learn a lot while not losing your mental health. - Typical public accounting audit exit ops and learning experiences - Easier to build relationships with managers and partners due to smaller-sized teams (in comparison to Big 4). - Dependent on team, but I've usually found I wasn't micro-managed.

Cons

- Understaffed: The great resignation is apparent at all public accounting firms, so the BDO Orange County office is no different. - Career Advisors can be a huge hit or miss. Some want to see you grow, others are just checking a box off their managing checklist. - Auditing management lacks diversity, in more ways than one. This may not be important to some people, but think about why this might be (even if management says they are diverse). - Typical public accounting woes: insane hours, work weekends, expectation to pick up extra work due to understaffing; yet you still remain salary.
