Better work environment and work/life balance than big 4, but crappy small messy clients - Assurance Associate BDO Employee Review

Strong team culture and they offered great flexibility throughout the internship.

High workload during busy season (although that is expected)

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

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.
