      Second Rate Firm - Senior Associate BDO Employee Review

      1.0
      Sep 9, 2016
      Senior associate

      CEO approval

      Pros

      The benefits are good, although "vacation" and "flex" time are largely fictional. There are some good managers and you do learn a lot.

      Cons

      Poor compensation, long hours, no appreciation from management, awful culture, pretend "flex" time. BDO targets clients on their downturn with solvency issues or scandals. Very few quality clients.

      Strong team culture and they offered great flexibility throughout the internship.

      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.
