Great... Example of how not to run a company!

Pros

Hmmm. Great leaving parties. They have become so good because they have had more than 50% of their employees leave in the past 12 months!

Cons

Where do you start. Don't. Don't start there at all... Start with reception which is the most unfriendly welcome you will ever receive. Move through to the empty desks that were once occupied by disgruntled employees, continue on to management that have given up hope and are preoccupied looking for other jobs and finish at the partners who don't think there is anything wrong with terrible engagement results year after year, 50% turnover, pay rises less than inflation and clients leaving in their droves. I will be very surprised if this office (on st lauret blvd) is still open in 2015. People who know, LEAVE BDO

Pros

Co-workers are professional, and friendly. Training is great - perfect for those gaining their qualifications and also CPD. Wide variety of clients and therefore exposure to a variety of interesting accounting and audit areas. Management and partners are all very open and easy to speak with.

Cons

Work-life balance can often falter with fast paced and tight budget jobs. IT systems and audit software could be improved to be more effective. Performance feedback could be more structured, though this was being addressed and improved as I left.

Good team to work with, focus on building group with the right people with the right attitudes, clear direction for career growth, great pay, access to management, opportunity for advancement at multiple points in year-- better than big 4which only allows advancement once a year!

Cons

Growing team has some growing pains, but management is focused on correcting the growing pains.
