      Inequitable - Manager BDO Employee Review

      Pros

      Really nice office in NYC with snacks, drinks and comfortable work stations. Some of the benefits are pretty good, specifically the health insurance options.

      Cons

      This company is totally inequitable. Leaderships gives themselves enormous bonuses while all lower level staff, who are beholden to much higher billable hours and admin work, hardly get anything comparable. The company also just got converted to an ESOP last year so you can only imagine what all the principals and above received in terms of a disgustingly huge buy out. No care for work life balance, lacks diversity unless your entry level and no transparency for anything.

      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.
