Pros

A good environment to work in and a defined career path for each employee. JD's are communicated and reviewed regularly.

Cons

Overall working environment is good although as most of the employees are expatriates and more social events could be good to have.

Pros

Great place if you are passionate about technology. There is an expert in everything, and so I am always learning from my peers. Very team oriented environment where everyone will make time to help you, provide experienced advice, and in general just brainstorm with. You will work with top tier tech professionals on every project. If you are driven, want to work with cutting edge technology and continuously learn, and enjoy success then this is a place for you.

Cons

I really can't think of any cons. 401k match and more vacation time would be nice, but the compensation makes up for that. I enjoy both the work and people at swc, nothing negative there.

Pros

I work within the shared services function of the company (marketing team) and feel BDO offers diversity of work, challenge and true career progression. BDO also promotes a great work-life balance and actively encourages employees to consider this. Salary and benefits are also great aspects of working at BDO.

Cons

With any business, there are some downsides - usual red tape and corporate blockers come into play which results in us being very slow moving on occasion. This means we're slow to adapt to market conditions and take advantage of opportunities (which are already being taken by our competitors).
