Pros

Really liked the people I worked with and the culture in the office

Cons

Teams were pressured to move more and more work to BDO Rise, which left our staff struggling to get hours and some were assigned to other teams outside of our office. Hard to motivate staff and train staff when they felt like they were replaceable and had no ownership over their work/teams

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
