Pros

Good people and generally a nicer culture than other global accountancy firms. Good office and facilities at London Head Office on Baker Street.

Cons

Support functions seem to get the rough end of the stick with constant restructures. Complex IT systems and poor CRM - overhaul and investment needed.

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.
