Pros

BDO International is having its presence at the world level across all the major countries where one would like to work. Hence choosing BDO International was easy as would give me a global exposure in my professional life.

Cons

The Ahmedabad office specifically has one of the worst Managers and the Associate Directors. The icing on the cake is the pathetic HR department located at Mumbai HO which always gives vague answers to keep the employees at other branches in utter confusions. The highest level politics is clearly visible at least in Ahmedabad office. The Managers and Associate Directors do not have personal life of their own and they expect all the subordinates to work as per their timings which goes into more than 12 hours on an everyday basis. Hence a person working at Ahmedabad office spends half of his day at office only to see his seniors smoke and talk about various issues which the person might not be interested in which in turn means zero personal and social life of all the subordinates working under such seniors perople.

Pros

There actually are great people, but you play manager roulette.

Cons

BDO is notorious for promoting people who just never leave. The middle of the road, not great, not awful, people get promoted over and over again. There have been changes every 3 seconds since the ESOP. Terrible communication around change (non-existent). My manager's favorite term was "We are building the plane as we fly it". After 4 years, I was hoping to have more plane built. It was never built.
