Pros

Base compensation Is slightly competitive I will say that.

Cons

Managers in specific, smaller groups have questionable qualifications and are only favored due to sheer experience (length of employment within the firm) extreme favoritism and unprofessional behavior. Office politics are at an extreme- managers will gossip with admin instead of doing their jobs efficiently. Personal vendettas and jealousy is a large issue at hand here. It’s as if the low morale and hostile workplace environment has regressed managers back to high school. Certain new staff especially younger staff members are set up to fail in some ways depending on their interactions with management.

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.
