Pros

Pay is good and people are very nice to work with.

Cons

IF YOU GET LAID OFF BEWARE: BDO keeps your flex spending money if you don't use it in the month you are let go. I get that it's legal but it is reprehensible that they use this as a revenue source when they have let you go with a totally crappy severance package (4 weeks). I'm struggling because I have no job and no insurance and they kept my $1300 I had contributed of my own money. BDO over hired during the pandemic and made a poor choice with a recent merger. Massive layoff last summer because management did not have enough work to keep us busy.

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.
