Pros

High quality free coffee every morning, occasional free food. Frequent happy hour events. Some people that work here are awesome.

Cons

This company is very segmented and cliquey. There is a lot of favoritism going on that trickles down from upper management. The Environment is also too sterile, it's similar to working in a grade school library where raising your volume or having a casual conversation with a co-worker will draw the attention of management in a bad way. There is a LOT of micro-management. The incentives for the inside sales team are poorly thought out and do not encourage a strategic approach. Finally, the opportunities to grow in sales-roles are extremely limited as it is a small company.

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.
