Pros

Great culture in the subiaco office, one of the best audit divisions in WA.

Cons

Directors are out of touch with staff and more concerned with their profit share, new office is a step back to 1950 with cube farm seating, staff turnover runs about two a week so there is a pretty shallow knowledge base and you don't learn much. Even the worst of the big four is a better choice than these guys.

Pros

Being a Large mid tier firm they have the resources to accommodate for you, ie CA and CPA support, as well as lots of internal training.

Cons

Cheap, self indulgent, too much politics as well as the utter belief in the corporate hierachy.

Pros

Consistent raises each year. The pay is higher than at one of the big four firms. The clients are generally in the middle market range. Travelling is optional and you can specify the degree tow hich you wish to travel in you performance review each year. There are opportunities to travel all over the world in audit. It is fairly easy to transfer within the company as they are easy to deal with. The employees are great to work with and the partners are easy to get along with and respectful towards the employees at all levels of the organization.

Cons

BDO is a smaller firm and tends to have smaller clients. If you want to be dealing with huge, well known, companies all the time then you would be happier at one of the big four.
