      average experience, better than MNP, not as good as big 4 - Intermediate Accountant BDO Employee Review

      Pros

      the overall office environment is not bad, much better than MNP where I worked for 1 year and quit. if you work hard and smart, you will get promoted. Unlike MNP, the first week I was there, the partner who hired me told me to get close to the office managing partner and kiss his rear end to get promoted fast. Good for him, he became partner at 30.

      Cons

      Same as other accounting firms, lots of turnovers, low pay, and long hours. Managers are not as competent as big 4s(I worked in one of them for a couple of years), there was a time a manager who only worked on NTRs was assigned to review my Audit work. She had no clue what she was doing the whole time. I have to take my time to train her on a variety of things. LOL

      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.
