      Pros

      - Great professionals and environment to work with - Plenty of room for growth (both technically and from a role perspective) - Benefits are good (similar to other big accounting firms) - Ability to work at your own pace and create your own hours, however, when the work needs to get done, it needs to get done.

      Cons

      - lack of Work / Life balance (but which career offers a work/life balance when you are trying to get to a successful place in life?) - I do think pay range is slightly slacking at BDO in comparison to other firms, however, working with good people and learning as much you can offsets this as money is a temporary fix, - national training is suspended - what the HECK?

      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.
