Pros

Hmmm. Great leaving parties. They have become so good because they have had more than 50% of their employees leave in the past 12 months!

Cons

Where do you start. Don't. Don't start there at all... Start with reception which is the most unfriendly welcome you will ever receive. Move through to the empty desks that were once occupied by disgruntled employees, continue on to management that have given up hope and are preoccupied looking for other jobs and finish at the partners who don't think there is anything wrong with terrible engagement results year after year, 50% turnover, pay rises less than inflation and clients leaving in their droves. I will be very surprised if this office (on st lauret blvd) is still open in 2015. People who know, LEAVE BDO

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
