Pros

I would say the only Pro about this office is that if you know how to deal with the management in BDO, you will know how to deal with anyone else through your career.

Cons

Management and the managing partner need to know how to run a business. Managing partner uses words that shouldn’t be used in any firm. Other partners might express that they are bored of public audit in front of the staff and the new interns, and that they want to start their own business in another field. Management open door policy is not working, because management is always giving excuses that they are doing their best and it’s the nature of the business. Managers should work on their role as a manager, we had one manager tell us, my job here is to get clients to get promoted to the next level, not to work on an actual audits. Also, married couple should meet only at home not in the office. Managers also use words with staff that shouldnt be used. As some comments said above training is non-existent. Client base is not the best, they pick clients for money. You can do your research online and see the client they got fired from recently.

Pros

Good first job - plenty of opportunities to learn as a fresh graduate and nice colleagues

Cons

Remuneration is miserable, member firms are very pressurised by head office to grow and hence there are boosting the numbers for the sake of growing
