Pros

I would say the only Pro about this office is that if you know how to deal with the management in BDO, you will know how to deal with anyone else through your career.

Cons

Management and the managing partner need to know how to run a business. Managing partner uses words that shouldn’t be used in any firm. Other partners might express that they are bored of public audit in front of the staff and the new interns, and that they want to start their own business in another field. Management open door policy is not working, because management is always giving excuses that they are doing their best and it’s the nature of the business. Managers should work on their role as a manager, we had one manager tell us, my job here is to get clients to get promoted to the next level, not to work on an actual audits. Also, married couple should meet only at home not in the office. Managers also use words with staff that shouldnt be used. As some comments said above training is non-existent. Client base is not the best, they pick clients for money. You can do your research online and see the client they got fired from recently.

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.
