Pros

Good culture, environment, and great people. Great first job out of college

Cons

Hours are ridiculous. 60+ hour weeks. Literally went into office on Saturday because we had "work" to do. All I did was get lunch for team

We should never be showing up just to show up or order lunch...that's just not right and certainly not the BDO 'way'...a project management misstep there. Broadly we endeavor to provide for time to replenish energy in a number of ways, including generous PTO, to recover from those inevitable 'sprints' in client service and always are looking to improve our scheduling and planning to avoid as unnecessary crunchtimes which foresight can fix!

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
