Toxic environment. Will destroy your peace. They’ll use you for busy season and dump you. Dont expect salary raise. Too much politics. Crazy hours . The worst part micromanaging

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.
