Brand name, decent collegaues and client-base for exposure

Cons

Poor remuneration relative to the competitors, Pathetic increments, terrible benefits ($100 in dental and basically nothing else), terrible management, Terrible HR practice (Staff below the AM level are bonded for 20 months: 18 months + 2 month notice period) company tries to increase market share by offering low fees and this in turn affects staff remuneration

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.
