      Medium firm with family feel - Senior Auditor BDO Employee Review

      Pros

      Great colleagues, support and, family atmosphere. Better work life balance than big 4 forms, better pay, better attitude. Less seasonality. Working hours are about 50-55 hours, very rarely weekends, drops to 40-50 in off season. (Big 4 would be 60-90 hours, 40 in off season) Smaller clients means more exposure to different areas if a single audit at lower levels.

      Cons

      Not a big 4 firm (in terms of contribution to career) Some of the clients are riskier than you'd get at big 4 firms

      So glad you found the culture and work life fit favorable. These are incredibly important to us and to our ability to retain talent. As for "riskiness" we take our obligation to address financial reporting risks seriously and therefore invest heavily in both training and deep technical resources. Much great learning can be obtained in these dynamic environments!

      Pros

      Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

      Cons

      I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
