Pros
Highly recommended to work at BDO Digital Advisory in Singapore (department with highest turnover rate) if you are a fan of being on the receiving end of frequent scolding through no fault of your own. Bonus points if you enjoy having your work dismissed repeatedly as the brief changes more often than the weather — all under lovingly impossible deadlines that are, of course, "urgent" by default. Take this as an opportunity to test the limits of your resilience. Meanwhile, if you're allergic to critical thinking and prefer to bask in the warm glow of perpetual ego-stroking with strong alignment to groupthink, BDO Singapore Admin/MARCOM departments are a dream come true. Here, personal ego reigns supreme, and the echo chamber is sacred. Best part? Gross overcompensation for expertise in gossiping. However, you cannot say anything remotely intelligent to threaten their egos - otherwise you will be shut down during meetings and swiftly become the subject of their gossip. Ideal qualifications? A1 in Gossip & Office Politics.
Cons
It can be challenging for individuals who prioritise substance and strategic thinking to thrive - especially when the culture seems to be driven more by personal ego than genuine collaboration. Visionaries and independent thinkers will not appreciate a culture which thrives on insecurity, power-tripping, and preserving fragile egos at all costs. However, it is a great place - if intellectual capacity is not your strong suit. A truly unforgettable experience with a lasting impact on mental health.
