Pros

*Company has a good reputation *Events * Company as a whole has a very good system already established *The work is done well and reviewed thoroughly by managers *learned a lot and my skills and attention to detail improved significantly *working at BDO does open doors for you

Cons

*Management style is extremely outdated. *People don’t bring their whole selves to work. *Management is sexist *Unfair reviews *Extremely competitive atmosphere. You really can’t ask questions or get help even from people on the same level as you. It’s a company where you always have to fight for your seat at the table (even when there are clearly enough seats) *This job left me sad and depressed. Made me hate myself.

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.
