Pros
I served in a business development role. I met and worked closely with the most senior audit and operations leaders at the firm. They regularly found ways to steal C-suite and referral relationships from the business development professionals, while under paying them or refusing legitimate commissions. I also saw them lie to bankers or referral sources when it suited them.
Cons
Greedy CEO and COO who are unethical leaders who lack integrity and represent the greed and selfish toxic sense of arrogant entitlement there is in business world. The tax and consulting leaders were better, but the toxic audit leaders from S. Africa run the ship at BDO. As a result, a lot of BDO personnel are resigning and leaving the firm, which is affecting client service. This ship is sinking. Steer clear!
