Pros

Luck really does play a huge role, as it's been over a year I'm working at BDO, and though at times I do have my peak period, but personally nothing too stressful. The seniors I've met were very accommodating, the jobs were okay, and colleagues were mostly nice.

Cons

The latest that I have to stay at the office is up until 11pm, but ofc there were times that I had to stay later than that to get some works done, but it was to my own accord, no one pushed me to it. But do note, this is based on my OWN experience, others might differ so really, your luck plays a huge role in determining whether you're able to stay for long or not.

Pros

There actually are great people, but you play manager roulette.

Cons

BDO is notorious for promoting people who just never leave. The middle of the road, not great, not awful, people get promoted over and over again. There have been changes every 3 seconds since the ESOP. Terrible communication around change (non-existent). My manager's favorite term was "We are building the plane as we fly it". After 4 years, I was hoping to have more plane built. It was never built.
