Pros

I work within the shared services function of the company (marketing team) and feel BDO offers diversity of work, challenge and true career progression. BDO also promotes a great work-life balance and actively encourages employees to consider this. Salary and benefits are also great aspects of working at BDO.

Cons

With any business, there are some downsides - usual red tape and corporate blockers come into play which results in us being very slow moving on occasion. This means we're slow to adapt to market conditions and take advantage of opportunities (which are already being taken by our competitors).

Pros

Compensation is OK. There are some really nice people in the organization to work with, but you have to find them.

Cons

If you are not part of the SWC "club" (company name prior to them joining BDO), good luck. Poor leadership!!! Practice lead talks to everyone like they are talking to a CEO, not relatable in most cases. No clear employee development plans. You are held accountable for things completely outside of your individual control. They stress incorporating AI into work strategy, but have no plan on what that looks like or how to do it and want everyone to formulate it because leadership has no roadmap. One has no control over where you want to take your career, yet you are expected to know everything, about everything. As a result, you become an expert of nothing! Work assigned rarely leverages skills, almost as if they throw darts to see who works on what.
