Pros

The job was pretty easy and the hours are quite predictable

Cons

The workflow is chaotic. I never know what I'm going to do at any point in time. I sometimes get requests from different heads and supervisors, sometimes none at all. I never know what to expect and I am always expected to look busy. I am also expected to (out of my own accord) look for extra work to do. Pay is modest at best. Upper management wouldn't even acknowledge my existence

Pros

Compensation is OK. There are some really nice people in the organization to work with, but you have to find them.

Cons

If you are not part of the SWC "club" (company name prior to them joining BDO), good luck. Poor leadership!!! Practice lead talks to everyone like they are talking to a CEO, not relatable in most cases. No clear employee development plans. You are held accountable for things completely outside of your individual control. They stress incorporating AI into work strategy, but have no plan on what that looks like or how to do it and want everyone to formulate it because leadership has no roadmap. One has no control over where you want to take your career, yet you are expected to know everything, about everything. As a result, you become an expert of nothing! Work assigned rarely leverages skills, almost as if they throw darts to see who works on what.
