Pros

- Good central location with somewhat nice offices - Free fruit twice a week (though it never lasts long) - Lots of exposure to different types of work and colleagues in different offices - Very easy to get away with doing the bare minimum

Cons

- Not enough staff for the work which results in existing good staff having to work much longer hours - Extremely high staff turnover - Lack of transparency on promotions, will bring up anything they can in appraisals to not give promotions/salary increase or bonus - Every single person in the company is in it for themselves and managers will always try to bring you down - Managers and Senior Managers abuse the flexible working hours and intimidate the junior members of staff

Pros

Compensation is OK. There are some really nice people in the organization to work with, but you have to find them.

Cons

If you are not part of the SWC "club" (company name prior to them joining BDO), good luck. Poor leadership!!! Practice lead talks to everyone like they are talking to a CEO, not relatable in most cases. No clear employee development plans. You are held accountable for things completely outside of your individual control. They stress incorporating AI into work strategy, but have no plan on what that looks like or how to do it and want everyone to formulate it because leadership has no roadmap. One has no control over where you want to take your career, yet you are expected to know everything, about everything. As a result, you become an expert of nothing! Work assigned rarely leverages skills, almost as if they throw darts to see who works on what.
