      Be Careful

      Tax manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I think the place is good for your resume. It shows you put your time in. There are many opportunities to learn but at the cost of your outside life. They will work you hard at this place. Sometimes you feel like you don't know why you work so hard. Then, it hits you. It pushes you to keep working.

      Cons

      Flexibility is not really practiced here. They push everyone to work and to get clients. The work you do is not appreciated.

      Not well structured firm

      Assistant manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay ok, famous in Malaysia (self declare big 4 for listed co)

      Cons

      1. Poor resource management (just want to remain the name of self declare big 4 of listed co and accepting everything from client) 2. Messy promotion system (first year junior got promotion not because of the capability but duration of joining (taking in big 4 internship experience even though poor performance) 3. Poor quality of work (ridiculous timelines agreed with client by management / so firm figure with work not being properly reviewed 4. Not employees benefit at all 5. No free time for staff to take leave but cannot b/f (so the days of leaves given is just a figure for fun) 6. Back to back big engagement chartered and chartered out all key staffs when the job is not even 75% completed (expected junior to clear / ask senior not to sleep) 7. Some ppl get good/easy jobs for whole years / some peak 24/7 . Pls rationale the job arrangement. 8. Drag forever for claim. 9. Some managers are good but too busy to help out on ur engagement

      Great company to work for

      Senior audit manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I used to work at a UK big 4 company as a manager for over 5 years. BDO is a breathe of fresh air, really cares about their employees, listens, pays staff equitably, not seen favouritism. BDO don't force you to work from the office, they treat you like an adult and want you to make the decision where is the most effective place for you to work from. I'm no longer in a constant state of anxiety due to the work stress at my previous Big4fim. I am really enjoying BDO and wish I joined them sooner in my career.

      Cons

      A lot of people want to work in the office so securing a desk needs advance booking, but this is negated by the work from home arrangements.
