Pros

Fellow staff, executive admins and partners were pleasant to work with. Calgary office focuses its resources on streamlining practices and having best practices templates, which is one of the best that I have seen.

Cons

Boys club at the manager level and be aware of the office politics. Low employee morale. Significant employee turnover rate in the Calgary office - of the announced departures, 55 staff members left BDO in an 18 month period. Lack of appreciation for employees - mindset is what more can you give to the company?

Pros

BDO was a completely average employer as a junior. More reasonable work hours than Big 4.

Cons

They wouldn't go out of their way to improve your experience there, and unfortunately many of the learning resources were very dated. The company suffers from being too small to legitimately take on "big" clients.

Pros

Good support through examinations to attain charter ship. Great environment - surrounded by helpful and pleasant colleagues who are happy to give you a hand if necessary.

Cons

Development opportunities could be better and work load could be a bit more varied/give you more responsibility. Pay could be better but reasonable for the industry/level.
