Pros

Knowledgeable staff; great learning opportunities. Lot's of luncheons and company outings. Get out a half hour early on Fridays for "beer Friday" to mingle with co-workers.

Cons

Average age about 28 and this is the age group most attracted to this company and most desired by the company. During my interview or just after being hired my hiring manager actually said there are no young <my job title>'s out there! Benefits only so-so. There is no matching 401k or retirement. Vacation maxes out at 3 weeks.

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.
