Pros

Co-workers are professional, and friendly. Training is great - perfect for those gaining their qualifications and also CPD. Wide variety of clients and therefore exposure to a variety of interesting accounting and audit areas. Management and partners are all very open and easy to speak with.

Cons

Work-life balance can often falter with fast paced and tight budget jobs. IT systems and audit software could be improved to be more effective. Performance feedback could be more structured, though this was being addressed and improved as I left.

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.
