Pros

Compensation is around what you'd expect.

Cons

Was nice when I first joined but now feels like a typical huge corporation. Layoffs, budget cuts, constant nagging about billable hours targets, etc.

Inequitable

Pros

Really nice office in NYC with snacks, drinks and comfortable work stations. Some of the benefits are pretty good, specifically the health insurance options.

Cons

This company is totally inequitable. Leaderships gives themselves enormous bonuses while all lower level staff, who are beholden to much higher billable hours and admin work, hardly get anything comparable. The company also just got converted to an ESOP last year so you can only imagine what all the principals and above received in terms of a disgustingly huge buy out. No care for work life balance, lacks diversity unless your entry level and no transparency for anything.

So Disappointed

Pros

Pay is good and people are very nice to work with.

Cons

IF YOU GET LAID OFF BEWARE: BDO keeps your flex spending money if you don't use it in the month you are let go. I get that it's legal but it is reprehensible that they use this as a revenue source when they have let you go with a totally crappy severance package (4 weeks). I'm struggling because I have no job and no insurance and they kept my $1300 I had contributed of my own money. BDO over hired during the pandemic and made a poor choice with a recent merger. Massive layoff last summer because management did not have enough work to keep us busy.
