Pros

Awesome work environment/culture with a very cohesive team setting. Very fair compensation including bonuses, benefits, and incentives with an excellent work-life balance. Growing company, which is awesome in the Chicago market. Great upper and middle management team who truly care about their employees; focused on bringing in talented people and helping them grow. Tons of opportunity for both knowledge & career growth. Great brand; well recognized in the area. Perks: Extravagant holiday party with hotel package, a fridge constantly stocked with free pop and craft beer (on Fridays), casual dress on Fridays (jeans), constant free food, annual golf outing, health and wellness team, free in-building gym access, work with the latest technologies & fun team outings....just to name a few.

Cons

The absolute only con is that there is no-matching 401k. Other than that, it is the type of place anyone can make a life-long career at.

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.
