Pros

lots of opportunity for new grads, pay attention and take advantage of the programs available to you

Cons

Local office leadership may be pawns or on their way out. BDO emphasizes interns and new grads but does not provide adequate relevant training and leadership role models. Emphasis on hours billed disguised as flexibility

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.
