      Pros

      Benefits are good and it is nice to work with intelligent people. Company tries to represent teamwork and cooperative spirit but....(see cons)

      Cons

      Salary freeze in 2009. Performance evaluations are meaningless. Work+life+fit is a joke when you actually need to have a life. Management is extremely careful not to document anything that can be used as proof of violations of discrimination laws and issues such as Family Medical Leave Act. BDO will force use of vacation time before you earn the maximum. Management will not discuss advancement and in some cases retaliates if you express interest in applying for other positions within the company. Beware of the "good old boy" network! Education assistance not available for administrative and finance positions.

      Pros

      You get opportunities to learn advanced taxation issues. You can't get the same kind of experience from many places. I enjoyed working with most of the people. They have a lot of opportunities to learn in the classroom for continuing education. They make an effort to make sure that you're happy.

      Cons

      Although they like to market themselves as an alternative to the Big Four, you're still going to work you just as much. They're just not as honest about the time involved. As a tax associate, there were many weeks were my colleagues and I were working 65+ hours. They say they do 55 billable, but that really means you're at work at least 65 hours. Even at the senior level, there was no decrease in time.
