Pros

Good starting point for a first job. Relatively diverse team. BDO as a whole has an ok general reputation.

Cons

Extremely high turnover, toxic management and work culture, lack of interesting projects (a lot of compliance work), below market pay, no bonuses, very outdated office, no office snacks. Internal deliverable deadlines would be very arbitrary. Would send deliverables to managers for review and they would not review it until weeks later even it was communicated that these deadlines were very urgent. Mainly, the terrible and outdated management styles of the managing director. Many of my former colleagues and I experienced the lowest points of our mental health while working here.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
