Pros

Friendly and helpful colleague. Spacious working desk.

Cons

Poor work allocation with superior judging you on the mistakes you done. Gossips around the department is a norm. The mentality of superiors need to be changed. WFH does not mean we are not working and no deadline to meet. The problems do not stop at audit department itself, be careful of the HR (people and culture department). I still do not have an idea why the department is named this way. Culture? Culture of looking down on staff? Gossip culture? Ignoring emails from employees? Staff welfare is not taken care of and instead sending unprofessional emails before clarify any incident. Poor compensation and benefits as compared to other firm.

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.
