Pros

Getting to work with great partners - some very talented and experienced people with great client relationships. Exposure to clients means you can feedback into the marketing toolkit which is very positive. Lots of room for personal entrepreneurship such as picking up additional projects although there is limited scope for other career progression.

Cons

Little room in marketing for career progression, and very little support unless you are one of the select few. Low morale in the marketing team leading to little teamwork across the business, and initiatives to bring more team spirit squashed by the Marketing Director.

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.
