Pros

I used to work at a UK big 4 company as a manager for over 5 years. BDO is a breathe of fresh air, really cares about their employees, listens, pays staff equitably, not seen favouritism. BDO don't force you to work from the office, they treat you like an adult and want you to make the decision where is the most effective place for you to work from. I'm no longer in a constant state of anxiety due to the work stress at my previous Big4fim. I am really enjoying BDO and wish I joined them sooner in my career.

Cons

A lot of people want to work in the office so securing a desk needs advance booking, but this is negated by the work from home arrangements.

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.
