Pros

There are some lovely people who work there.

Cons

A general clique attitude, so if your face fits I'm sure it's a great place to work with quick promotion and recognition. However, for the majority it seems that the partners/managers, depending on your position, take advantage of those who are efficient. It is openly frowned upon if you leave at your contracted hour, even though you will not be paid overtime for any extra time spent in the office. Many dismissals just before end of probationary period - feels unfair for those workers who seemed to do a reasonable job (more than some still with the company). Lots of feedback through surveys, but nothing ever changes - waste of everybody's time.

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.
