Pros

BDO International is having its presence at the world level across all the major countries where one would like to work. Hence choosing BDO International was easy as would give me a global exposure in my professional life.

Cons

The Ahmedabad office specifically has one of the worst Managers and the Associate Directors. The icing on the cake is the pathetic HR department located at Mumbai HO which always gives vague answers to keep the employees at other branches in utter confusions. The highest level politics is clearly visible at least in Ahmedabad office. The Managers and Associate Directors do not have personal life of their own and they expect all the subordinates to work as per their timings which goes into more than 12 hours on an everyday basis. Hence a person working at Ahmedabad office spends half of his day at office only to see his seniors smoke and talk about various issues which the person might not be interested in which in turn means zero personal and social life of all the subordinates working under such seniors perople.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
