Pros

Lucrative incentive plan. Great co-workers. A good work environment. People have fun and hang out away from the office. They tend to listen to employees and take their suggestions seriously. Whether they act on them or not is, of course, another story.

Cons

One of the biggest problems I've found at SWC is that employees don't get much recognition for a job well done. Sure the monthly (usually) employee of the month is handed out, but when someone continues to exceed expectations, they rarely will be rewarded. If you always are that good - then that's just what you do... not some outstanding achievement. Management has been known to say things like "don't let him know how good he is..." Perhaps in a joking fashion, but most jokes like that are typically rooted in truth.

Pros

The company values it's employees. They have respect for what you like to do outside of the office and have tried to put policies in place to ensure a good work life balance. There is great opportunity for advancement. I like my co-workers. I feel that my opinion is heard and that the partner group is willing to listen to new ideas and comments. I feel I am fairly compensated for my work.

Cons

Offices are typically small and you will find the small office politics can get annoying at times. We lack some of the technology of the larger firms.

Pros

The size of the firm allows experience in multiple areas, and receiving recognition for the work you do. BDO has the resources of a large multinational firm with the feel of a smaller firm.

Cons

BDO focuses on middle market clients. Although this allows for a variety of work, you may miss out on some of the larger clients which would also offer valuable experience.
