Pros

The partners saved some money by laying off during covid. That's probably a pro in their mind

Cons

Can't rehire after laying off during covid. Minimum 60 hours per week they say. Its actually Minimum 70. Pay raises are like 2 to 3% increase. Will try to not promote if they can pull it off. No sense of team. Everyone is there for themselves, and that comes from the top. Do not sacrifice your life for these people, they do not care for you. Your just a number to them.

BDO Response

So sorry to hear your experience is not positive. Your feelings are valid because you are entitled to your own opinions. Some of your facts unfortunately are wrong. Average pay raises are much higher than 2-3%. The firm is not looking to hold back on any promotions. Many respond to surveys that the team spirit they experience is what they most value. You are much more than a number and we are pledged to our core purpose; happy to help you find a way forward if you like and appreciate your candor.

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.
