Pros

Decent benefits, some partners are very supportive and always available, excellent clients and work

Cons

Family feel was destroyed with merger, upper management still has its cliques, over 20 partners/managing directors "left" since the merger, revenue has dropped over 30 percent, several partners are counting days until they can leave, high turnover, senior managers and directors are salesmen (if you can build a book of business or can get close to the clique you have success in Houston)

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.
