Pros

Intense audit methodology and intense work demands create an "incubator" for work experience.

Cons

The majority of management is simply impossible to work for/please. Rampant disrespect for those that work for them. Next to no consideration for work life balance.

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.
