Pros

- Good central location with somewhat nice offices - Free fruit twice a week (though it never lasts long) - Lots of exposure to different types of work and colleagues in different offices - Very easy to get away with doing the bare minimum

Cons

- Not enough staff for the work which results in existing good staff having to work much longer hours - Extremely high staff turnover - Lack of transparency on promotions, will bring up anything they can in appraisals to not give promotions/salary increase or bonus - Every single person in the company is in it for themselves and managers will always try to bring you down - Managers and Senior Managers abuse the flexible working hours and intimidate the junior members of staff

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.
