Pros

Not sure what are the pros here in Mississauga office

Cons

Way too many managers and levels of bureaucracy, some guys like to play politics in this very small company; some disability guy thought he has higher hirearchy everyone should listen to him, otherwise it is a discrimination. I have seen 2 new hires quit this company in Mississauga Financial Drive in less than 2 months, which shows big problem in this company.

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.
