Pros

-good location that is near the mrt, and around a few good food options

Cons

1) Toxic culture that has a lot of gossip, favoritism, and no transparency at all from upper management. 2) Directors and Partners take all the credit when things you contribute to go well, but put the entire blame on you when things start falling apart. 3) no consideration for team members' personal time and effort and expect you to work for 'urgent' items throughout the weekends. 4) usage of abusive language and gaslighting by directors and partners. lack of trust among managers. 5) no proper training to upskill workers or transparent appraisal process that allows employees to understand steps to take towards their career growth.

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.
