Pros

Cannot think of anything positive about BDO Singapore

Cons

1) calendar year basis used to calculate my leave entitlement on my last day and this reduce my leave encashment. 2) backstabbing culture in which you cannot trust anyone in the department. 3) poor management and one of them spy in you and take photo of you 4) not helpful to navigate around the admin matter in the department 5) poor pay structure 6) you need to serve full notice when you are under probation, but they can ask you to leave anytime without fulfilling the full notice 7) all policy are to the benefit of the management and to the maximum disadvantage employees

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.
