      Horrible

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Good experience to put on your resume.

      Cons

      -Management is awful for the most part, with a few exceptions, they are immature, unsympathetic, political, unintelligent, the list goes on. These people wouldn't survive in a normal workplace. -Work/Life balance is non-existent (BDO Flex is a joke) -All you do is work, busy season never ends and the pay is pitiful for the number of hours. They also don't reward people for their hard work.

      Be Careful

      Tax manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I think the place is good for your resume. It shows you put your time in. There are many opportunities to learn but at the cost of your outside life. They will work you hard at this place. Sometimes you feel like you don't know why you work so hard. Then, it hits you. It pushes you to keep working.

      Cons

      Flexibility is not really practiced here. They push everyone to work and to get clients. The work you do is not appreciated.

      Worst Audit Firm

      Pros

      1. Nothing 2. Nothing 3. Nothing 4. Nothing 5. Nothing

      Cons

      Highly political environment. Career advisors are not interested in fulfilling their jobs and they don't like to advise employees on their performance, instead, meet with senior management at so called GROW meeting (performance evaluation meeting) to recommend senior management for layoffs of employees they don't like or suggested by Audit Managers due to grudges against their not favorite ones . The people withing the firm do back biting, especially the audit managers and other senior level staff. They call the employees from other developing countries and after one busy season, they simply lay off them by labelling them as not meeting firm's expectations. So potential employees coming from abroad take this matter serious when making decision to join this hell. The busy season is on throughout the year so never ending. Audit Managers are not friendly and they are more political and likely to have grudges against the employees they don't like.
