      Not a good experience

      Pros

      There is not a lot of pros to working at BDO, I would suggest working at a different firm, see below for reasons.

      Cons

      Do you want to be treated like you are working at a big 4 and also do the hours of a big 4 but then not have that on your resume, then BDO is for you! Here in the Houston office, there are staff auditors that are working 85 hours a week. It is pretty typical to work a nice 70 hour week and then have a manager who keeps asking about stuff. My firm was originally UHY and got bought out by BOD at the end of 2014. For UHY I would probably leave a 4 star review. However, when BDO showed up the first day of January, they pretty much immediately left a bad taste in everybody's mouth including even partners. Nobody in the Houston office is happy and emphatically and universally hate BDO. I would never suggest anybody work here.

      Here's an idea....you see a problem? Be part of a solution. Speak to your managing partner or speak to me., but speak.

      Pros

      You will never run out of work or two-faced backstabbing coworkers to fill your days with misery and remorse.

      Cons

      The managing partners are specifically selected to be obnoxious and unreasonable cretins. Anyone decent and upright is quickly marginalized or fired.

      Not the Big 5 experience you are looking for

      Pros

      Just the name- BDO !

      Cons

      Everything! The top management is impossible to work for & leave no chance to humiliate, insult & say outright offensive things to their employees. The quality of clients are not upto the Big5 mark & the work is more frustrating than challenging.
