Pros

A great support system is given Wonderful personnel Great office environment.

Cons

No work-life balance, but is not unique to this company. They had a program called BDO Flex which was so vague in definition and I don't know a single employee at BDO that could prove the concept of workplace flexibility in Public Accounting. . This seemed like Performance Art that we joked about when we were in the Office on Saturdays and Sundays. d You have very little influence on what clients you get to work on and this is especially evident when you have continuity and seniority in a certain engagement and industry. I feel like you would have to advocate very aggressively for yourself to switch engagements and most do not have that confidence at this stage The slow delivery of feedback feeds a culture of paranoia and you have most employees, fresh out of school, thinking they are getting fired.

Thanks for the honest and constructive feedback. Honest and timely communication is key. Some people are great at it and some certainly have some work to do. We will continue to teach them and work toward a culture where you are comfortable speaking up.
