Pros

there are no pros at all. the company used to have a good culture. but after the introduction of a new partner, the company has started to care less of its employees and there is no trust left between the employees and the staff. after working very hard to achieve your portfolio they hardly give any incentive and they will give all types of excuses to not give you your increment. and one star partner will keep on trying to talk to you on how to think.

Cons

the company is being solely run by the mind of the star partner, who is a star only in his own mind. all other partners just sit and say yes to him. and he implements the wierdest of ideas and is looking to take over the firm. the clients have started to ridicule the firm due to frequent changes of staff. the staff turnover is very high and you have to take a lot of load of the old staff leaving and the firm happily kicks some out and lets other leave.

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.
