Pros

I think the place is good for your resume. It shows you put your time in. There are many opportunities to learn but at the cost of your outside life. They will work you hard at this place. Sometimes you feel like you don't know why you work so hard. Then, it hits you. It pushes you to keep working.

Cons

Flexibility is not really practiced here. They push everyone to work and to get clients. The work you do is not appreciated.

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.
