Pros

I have worked at a big 4 firm prior to joining BDO, and was impressed with their WLB upon joining.

Cons

After the PC announcement and the ESOP deal it just seems like the firm is heavily declining and focusing more and more on grinding down their current employee base. There is always a focus on doing more, and whatnot but it is getting nauseating with the implementation of project management tools (that waste time and contribute nothing). Don't feel part of a small office anymore, just feels like I am a harder worked means to an end.

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.
