Great but Sometimes Frustrating Place to Work
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.
