good place to work..... but dont rely on your job assessment to get the feedback......

Senior auditor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You will be working with very talented, skilled people who are great auditors / accountants.... The firm puts great effort into training for professional staff.

Cons

The job assessments after every assignment for auditor / professional staff are meaningless as they have fired people in the past whose reviews were great....... Although flexibility is raved about...... using too much of it can be of detriment to you.....

good place to work.

Assurance director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

more interested in staff than their competitors. quality of offices and what is made available to staff like fresh fruit daily, gym membership, location of office are all major pluses. Good people to work with and generally a friendly environment. The firm also has a decent pension scheme available to staff. Staff also dont have to work as many hours as are expected in a Big 4 environment.

Cons

complexity of work sometimes isnt there in comparison to Big 4. Overall pay is lower than big 4, but thats to be expected as partners earn substantially less than partners in big 4.

Great mid-tier consulting firm to work for in order to improve and master your skills.

Consulting manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to work independently due to client size, good pay, ability to work with other departments within the Consulting practice, great Senior Management expectations relating to Manager billable hours and excellent paid time off perks (3 years in a row with Dec 24-Jan1 off without using vacation days).

Cons

Compared to Big 4, BDO seemed to be behind in adapting to new audit practices as Partners were not always willing to retool their audit approach. As a Manager, was responsible for Senior and Staff level work (e.g., smaller clients with consulting projects often only required 1 consultant, which resulted in manager doing all levels of work).
