Pros

The medical plan is pretty decent, so are the pto and holidays. Besides that, everything else is down the drain.

Cons

Putting it lightly, professionalism does not even exist. A lot of politics and back stabbing. Managers who are incompetent and hold work till the last minute. The word communication does not even exist. Managers talk in such an aggressive tone as if they are your mortal enemies. The management does not care about these things as long as the clients are still there. Promotion only exist if you threaten to 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.
