      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people usually and the atmosphere most of the time. Our salary is competitive with the big four without killing the employees with work.

      Cons

      Layoffs a lot lately, slackers are rewarded. There is not a lot of communication on performance

      A good place to work, but more recognition for accomplishments is needed

      Senior litigation associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a good work/life balance at BDO and it is encouraged by senior management. This isn't one of these firms where there is relentless pressure to bill hours (as a fomer attorney, I can appreciate this approach). Also, the work environment was collegial, I more or less got along with everyone I worked with.

      Cons

      Career advancement opportunities are limited. Maybe it's the division I worked in, but I felt the opportunities for advancement were lacking. I maybe being a bit too harsh, though, since our clients are all financial services companies and we all know how well they're doing. Also, in between assignments, there can be too much downtime. One can only do so much business development before it becomes ineffective.

      Great place to work

      Staff accountant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Consistent raises each year. The pay is higher than at one of the big four firms. The clients are generally in the middle market range. Travelling is optional and you can specify the degree tow hich you wish to travel in you performance review each year. There are opportunities to travel all over the world in audit. It is fairly easy to transfer within the company as they are easy to deal with. The employees are great to work with and the partners are easy to get along with and respectful towards the employees at all levels of the organization.

      Cons

      BDO is a smaller firm and tends to have smaller clients. If you want to be dealing with huge, well known, companies all the time then you would be happier at one of the big four.
