      Diminishing Firm Quality

      Pros

      I have worked at a big 4 firm prior to joining BDO, and was impressed with their WLB upon joining.

      Cons

      After the PC announcement and the ESOP deal it just seems like the firm is heavily declining and focusing more and more on grinding down their current employee base. There is always a focus on doing more, and whatnot but it is getting nauseating with the implementation of project management tools (that waste time and contribute nothing). Don't feel part of a small office anymore, just feels like I am a harder worked means to an end.

      Would not reccoment

      Assurance senior

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working remote Travel can be fun

      Cons

      Slowly taking away the benefits of the job. Meals, travel, trainings, etc. No work life balance. No slow season anymore. Expected to work 40+ hours a week even during slow season Always rushed to get work done, not get done correctly. Reminds me of Boeing! The work doesn't matter as long as the final deliverable is complete and the client is happy. Flawed!

      If you want to cry yourself to sleep and be humiliated, this is the place to work

      Pros

      Money must honestly wasn't that great

      Cons

      First off, the CEO is very tone deaf, the managers love to yell and humiliate their associates, and there is a culture of pick me's and favoritism.
