Pros

An environment where you are given full autonomy to execute projects as long as clients are satisfied.

Cons

Director is not involved in most projects and also lacks any real skills or knowledge. Lack of leadership/mentorship and support for staff. Salary and benefits way below market rates. The bond of 18 months is not justified as you hardly receive any formal training. It is simply in place to overcome the high turnover rate.

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.
