BDO reviews

Greedy CEO and COO who are unethical leaders who lack integrity and represent the greed and selfish toxic sense of arrogant entitlement there is in business world. The tax and consulting leaders were better, but the toxic audit leaders from S. Africa run the ship at BDO. As a result, a lot of BDO personnel are resigning and leaving the firm, which is affecting client service. This ship is sinking. Steer clear!

Pay is below market. Company is comprised of multiple purchased regional/local practices. This results in inconsistencies and a lower level of clients than most other large public accounting firms. The benefits are not at the level of Big4 and expenses are highly micromanaged. Budgets on engagements are tight, while billable expectations are high. The use of outsourcing is a huge factor in the economics of the company, which creates significant frustration for employees. The "people first" mission statement is as fake as they come, and culture is patchy and highly dependent on the office/ region/local leadership. Employee satisfaction reflects it and it shows, starting with some of the leadership, all the way down to lower level managers and seniors.
