      Pros

      Being a Large mid tier firm they have the resources to accommodate for you, ie CA and CPA support, as well as lots of internal training.

      Cons

      Cheap, self indulgent, too much politics as well as the utter belief in the corporate hierachy.

      Great place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Consistent raises each year. The pay is higher than at one of the big four firms. The clients are generally in the middle market range. Travelling is optional and you can specify the degree tow hich you wish to travel in you performance review each year. There are opportunities to travel all over the world in audit. It is fairly easy to transfer within the company as they are easy to deal with. The employees are great to work with and the partners are easy to get along with and respectful towards the employees at all levels of the organization.

      Cons

      BDO is a smaller firm and tends to have smaller clients. If you want to be dealing with huge, well known, companies all the time then you would be happier at one of the big four.

      Great mid-tier consulting firm to work for in order to improve and master your skills.

      Consulting manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ability to work independently due to client size, good pay, ability to work with other departments within the Consulting practice, great Senior Management expectations relating to Manager billable hours and excellent paid time off perks (3 years in a row with Dec 24-Jan1 off without using vacation days).

      Cons

      Compared to Big 4, BDO seemed to be behind in adapting to new audit practices as Partners were not always willing to retool their audit approach. As a Manager, was responsible for Senior and Staff level work (e.g., smaller clients with consulting projects often only required 1 consultant, which resulted in manager doing all levels of work).
