Good benefits and vacation time and other time off. Really great group of colleagues who help each other out. Office is accessible to transit.

Cons

They don't care about staff who aren't accountants. Poor salary increases and overall treatment. Little opportunity for advancement. No support for education.

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.
