      Not the best - Assistant Manager BDO Employee Review

      Business outlook

      Pros

      People are generally friendly, especially those in similar roles. Management is friendly when it is not within work context. Sick leave policy is very good.

      Cons

      Work environment is high pressure, with most managers focused on small details and micromanaging the team. You are judged if you leave the office on time, even if no overtime is required. Little flexibility in where to work from, expected to be in the office or at client site even when no benefit is to be gained. Progression is extremely slow, with no real guidance on how to be promoted. Audit methodology is interpreted differently by different managers. Discussing problems with your people manager goes nowhere. Office politics are big here.

      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.
