What to expect from any large public accounting firm: Slow career growth, long hours

Accounting

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working at BDO compares to working for any large public accounting firm. Long work hours (e.g., >100 hrs /week during busy season and anywhere from 60-100+ during “not” busy season) are required.

Cons

There is little to no coordination between the partners, meaning everyone below is left to decide which partner they want to disappoint, since delivering quality work on-time to every partner is not possible. Again, pretty typical for this industry. If you’re thinking a job at BDO will be significantly better than a job at [Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG, BKD, Andersen, RSM] it probably won’t be, so take your highest paying offer.

Leaders Dont Walk The Talk. They Only Care About Themselves

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Cant think of anything then and now

Cons

Nothing! Leaders have favorites and only supports and grow those who are within their circle. Trying so hard to be a big 4 but cannot given they dont have big 4 quality. Selfish leadership and no genuine care for their people Their statement saying Helping people thrive everyday is all illusion and propaganda. They dont care about their greatest resources, their people.

Business Outlook

Pros

The partners saved some money by laying off during covid. That's probably a pro in their mind

Cons

Can't rehire after laying off during covid. Minimum 60 hours per week they say. Its actually Minimum 70. Pay raises are like 2 to 3% increase. Will try to not promote if they can pull it off. No sense of team. Everyone is there for themselves, and that comes from the top. Do not sacrifice your life for these people, they do not care for you. Your just a number to them.

BDO Response

4y

So sorry to hear your experience is not positive. Your feelings are valid because you are entitled to your own opinions. Some of your facts unfortunately are wrong. Average pay raises are much higher than 2-3%. The firm is not looking to hold back on any promotions. Many respond to surveys that the team spirit they experience is what they most value. You are much more than a number and we are pledged to our core purpose; happy to help you find a way forward if you like and appreciate your candor.
