Pros

• Strong exposure to practice-specific engagements early on • S. Associates and Managers are generally very willing to teach and explain the work • Good opportunity to build financial modeling and liquidity analysis skills • Lean teams mean interns and junior staff can contribute meaningfully to client work • Collaborative culture within the group I've worked in

Cons

• Hours can become unpredictable during live engagements or tight deliverable timelines • As a large firm, some internal processes and approvals can be slow • Work can sometimes be repetitive when updating models or preparing materials • Limited visibility into certain senior-level client discussions early on

Pros

Luck really does play a huge role, as it's been over a year I'm working at BDO, and though at times I do have my peak period, but personally nothing too stressful. The seniors I've met were very accommodating, the jobs were okay, and colleagues were mostly nice.

Cons

The latest that I have to stay at the office is up until 11pm, but ofc there were times that I had to stay later than that to get some works done, but it was to my own accord, no one pushed me to it. But do note, this is based on my OWN experience, others might differ so really, your luck plays a huge role in determining whether you're able to stay for long or not.
