      Pros

      New clean office Free coffee carpet cleaned every evening

      Cons

      Disrespectful management Bullying by managers accepted behaviours and encouraging misstreatment among employees Low tiered clients which do not fit into 6th ranking in public practice whereas Grant Thornton has better profiled and quality clients. Despite the fact being in the centre of oil and gas headquarter of Canada, not even tier 2 oil companies want to do rely on BDO. Additionally, clients we engaged in are similar to your neighbourhood sole practitioners. Favouritism Low morale among juniors Smart professional leaves

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly and understanding staff who are willing to encourage interns to participate in many activities both in and out of the office.

      Cons

      This is a pro and a con: As the name is less well known than some of its counterparts, the amount of work was sometimes slow.

      Avoid the New York Expatriate Tax Practice

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As with any other workplace, the best reason to work at BDO are certain people in the firm, those who care about you as a person rather than a body to complete jobs.

      Cons

      Overall the firm is good, just as any of the Big Four. However, like the others, the experience depends on the business segment in which one works. Also, advancement within specialty groups is quite limited as these groups need fewer high level individuals (managers, senior managers, directors, etc.). Avoid the New York expatriate tax practice.
