Pros

There is nothing to add here.

Cons

Authoritarian management and will fire you without any reason. Extreme politics in the National office among IT management members. No vision and constant change all the time. Revolving door as people leaving on a regular basis. Ask former IT employees before joining. DO NOT JOIN BDO Canada IT team.

Pros

The food in the cafeteria

Cons

The negatives are a lot as the company loses good and skilled employees only to remain with archiac partnership and directors who do not want to change or move with the times. - A lot of politics and backbiting, the organisation thrives on destructive gossiping and the clique system.If you find yourself not fitting into one then your stay will not be bearable - For the short time I was there the turnover of managers was around 80%, no wonder they are always looking for people. The organisation is a smudge on your CV that is why I left I did not even include it on my experience profile as I learnt nothing, I actually regressed. so to those who want to join do so at your own risk - Management overpromises onpersonall developmen and equatable performance scheme, where in actual fact it is non-existent you only target a salary rise by a negligible percentage. You ask yourself what is the point of wasting time on useless appraisal systems for the sake of administration work. Directors and Partners are very deceptive and work on divide and rule strategy based on favouritism and nepotism, very unprofessional work place

Pros

Learned a lot as I had multiple, diverse clients with varied needs.. Management gives lots of opportunity if you want it. Long hours with lots of pressure but flexible schedule.

Cons

Reputation as a third rate company. PwC and the other big firms look down their noses at BDO. Managed out a sense of desperation to land new business. Very reactive, not proactive.
