      Pros

      Offer ACA training and able to send trainee to college

      Cons

      A lot of politics, bad management. Managers and HRs collude each other. Unfair treatment to junior level positions. Senior manager above include partners are not caring recruitment and human resources, which means that managers can do whatever they want to recruitment, promotion, and cut off of low level of human resource. The working culture is really bad. there is no involvement of semi-senior below staff in planning meeting. No brief from senior or manager before audit execution. Seniors are not willing to train juniors up on the job sometimes. The performance measurement is too frequently which enhanced workload especially in peak season.

      Pros

      Compensation is OK. There are some really nice people in the organization to work with, but you have to find them.

      Cons

      If you are not part of the SWC "club" (company name prior to them joining BDO), good luck. Poor leadership!!! Practice lead talks to everyone like they are talking to a CEO, not relatable in most cases. No clear employee development plans. You are held accountable for things completely outside of your individual control. They stress incorporating AI into work strategy, but have no plan on what that looks like or how to do it and want everyone to formulate it because leadership has no roadmap. One has no control over where you want to take your career, yet you are expected to know everything, about everything. As a result, you become an expert of nothing! Work assigned rarely leverages skills, almost as if they throw darts to see who works on what.
