      Pros

      office atmosphere is very outgoing and collaborative. Everyone seemed interested in helping interns learn. Very great culture and friendly faces. Hours are better than big 4 accounting firms, and they try to make up for the long days with catered lunches and other treats.

      Cons

      Commuting on the train was time consuming, but that was because I lived outside of the city. During busy season, even interns worked 60+ hour weeks. While it was difficult at times, I never had to work a Saturday. There didn't seem to be many options to take time off, unless very sick or emergency.

      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.
