What to expect from any large public accounting firm: Slow career growth, long hours

Accounting

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working at BDO compares to working for any large public accounting firm. Long work hours (e.g., >100 hrs /week during busy season and anywhere from 60-100+ during “not” busy season) are required.

Cons

There is little to no coordination between the partners, meaning everyone below is left to decide which partner they want to disappoint, since delivering quality work on-time to every partner is not possible. Again, pretty typical for this industry. If you’re thinking a job at BDO will be significantly better than a job at [Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG, BKD, Andersen, RSM] it probably won’t be, so take your highest paying offer.
