Experience was great in terms of fullfilling the minimum requirements in obtaining a chartered accountant designation. No other benefits to this job!

BDO compares favorably to my former Big 4 firm

Assurance senior

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I used to work in Big 4, and comparatively speaking, BDO works less hours and at a lower stress level...all while making the same in salary. There is a regional firm feel to my office, but I am getting experience at a national level. Flexibility is great, and the people are friendly. There are a lot of office activities to keep employees engaged. You don't feel like an anonymous face in the crowd like at Big 4. The relationship from the staff level to the partner level is dynamic. I feel comfortable enough to walk into a partner's office and shoot the bull with him or her for no reason.

Cons

The calibre of clients are not that of Big 4, both in diversification and quality. In my office, travel is more extensive than my previous firm.

BDO Seidman is a decent place to work out out of college.

Business Outlook

Pros

Management is great as they care about the employee's needs and concerns. The managers in my group have always looked out for me.

Cons

Long hours and travel is required but that is the nature of public accounting. I would have expected more third party technical training but most of the training is acquired on the job.
