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.

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.
