Pros

Colleagues were supportive and professional.

Cons

There were ongoing concerns with management practices. There appeared to be limited accountability and, in some cases, senior management and line managers lacked sufficient experience or understanding of key operational processes. Additionally, overtime was expected at times without clear compensation or recognition. I raised these concerns through the appropriate channels; however, I did not feel they were addressed constructively. Following this, I was identified for dismissal without a clearly communicated or substantiated reason. This has raised further concerns about how feedback is handled within the organisation, particularly as I had raised these issues in good faith prior to this outcome.

Pros

There actually are great people, but you play manager roulette.

Cons

BDO is notorious for promoting people who just never leave. The middle of the road, not great, not awful, people get promoted over and over again. There have been changes every 3 seconds since the ESOP. Terrible communication around change (non-existent). My manager's favorite term was "We are building the plane as we fly it". After 4 years, I was hoping to have more plane built. It was never built.
