Pros

- During the off season its possible to take time off and work from home - You see a wide variety of clients and work which allows for a lot of learning and experience - Relatively young professionals

Cons

- Really long hours as expected with public accounting - Perception is reality. People are too focus on what everyone else is doing and not enough focus on their own work - Must be willing to go with the flow of the common beliefs in the office or be outcasted. Any criticism of upper management or how things are done will not get you far - A lot of favoritism and cliques - Way too much ego and patting of the back with upper management to notice how unhappy their staff is - High high turnover

Pros

The work is okay and can be challenging.

Cons

The culture in Solon is awful. The Partner and Director group are unprofessional (yell at each other in the office and at clients). Expectations from senior management is unreasonable (budgets are unrealistic). No one wants to work for this partner group.

Pros

lots of opportunity for new grads, pay attention and take advantage of the programs available to you

Cons

Local office leadership may be pawns or on their way out. BDO emphasizes interns and new grads but does not provide adequate relevant training and leadership role models. Emphasis on hours billed disguised as flexibility
