Good experience, busy busy hours
Audit Associate (在职员工) - Florida - 2023年9月24日
It’s a good learning experience and most people are nice and friendly, but the hours expected are heavy and compensation is not in line to reflect those hours. Benefits are good, but PTO and 401K match could be better.

Wonderful people! Great place to work on development!
Audit Associate (在职员工) - Columbus, OH - 2023年7月13日
The culture is wonderful. Many events and opportunities to connect with co-workers. Competitive benefits and pay. Lenient on business casual to ensure you're comfortable when you're in the office. Flexible hybrid schedule. Ensure you're making use of your PTO. Quality leadership! They care about both your personal and professional growth.

Not a work life balance place.
Experienced Audit Associate (离职员工) - Los Angeles, CA - 2023年6月30日
Not a work life balance place. Too pressure and career advisor doesn’t help at all, seniors give you a lot of works and report whatever you do wrong even minor errors to manager.

Much to learn
Audit Associate (在职员工) - Bugis - 2023年5月26日
Pros - A whole lot to learn, you're literally entering a new school but getting paid, albeit lower than notable competitors. Seniors are 9 out of 10 willing to teach/explain. Cons - Managers can be intimidating and prone to be "accusing" you (which will affect your performance review) if you don't explain yourself right there and then. The frustration and grievance may build up and is ultimately bad for one's mental health. It's unfortunate for those who are unable to verbally communicate there and then, explanations will lead to misunderstanding.

Reputation Matters
Audit Associate (离职员工) - Dallas, TX - 2023年3月13日
Your work matters, but you reputation/popularity matters more. Can definitely be a boys club if you are stuck working with the wrong people and you pretty much just need to deal with it. Keep your head down and stay in the middle of your cohorts performance-wise. There is practically no salary raise difference between the best performer and the worst. I know this for a fact. Being a top performer just gets you more work.

Better than Big4
Associate - Audit (离职员工) - Bern, BE - 2023年1月27日
BDO has a better working culture than Big4 entities. However, they do have smaller clients and you cannot become manager as fast as in Big4. Since, they have lower turnover rate and less stressful environment.
优点
Central Location, Open Management
缺点
Takes time to move in career

Unethical Business Model
Audit Senior Associate (离职员工) - Milwaukee, WI - 2023年1月25日
I spent 3 years here in the mid-2010s right out of grad school. I chose the firm over offers from all of the Big 4 (Milwaukee or Chicago offices) and some government offers (GAO, FBI) because I liked the managers and partners I interviewed with, they gave me the hard sell on their firm, and I preferred to be in Milwaukee due to a family health concern. I was promoted to Audit Senior after 2+ years and never received a single piece of negative feedback in my time with BDO Milwaukee. Then, I was unexpectedly terminated after a 3rd busy season with zero explanation. Keeping in touch with former coworkers over the last 5+ years, it seems my situation is the normal course of business at this firm, rather than an aberration. It's basically their business model to fire staff and management whenever the office is failing to meet earnings expectations...which seems to be a nearly annual occurrence. Fortunately, the two managers I had worked for at BDO provided me with excellent recommendations and I landed a lateral position with a Big 4 in Chicago in a matter of weeks, where I was recently promoted to Senior Manager. Even though I landed on my feet, I look back at my time with BDO as, without question, the worst experience of my career. If getting terminated without cause isn't bad enough, I have come to realize that the Milwaukee Office partners, managers, training, and work-product are all subpar at best. I would strongly recommend that potential employees avoid this place at all costs. Unless it's your only job offer, pretty much any other option is likely an upgrade.
优点
A couple SEC registered clients, young and energetic staff
缺点
No job security, poor leadership, subpar training, meaningless performance reviews

1 star
Experienced Audit Associate (离职员工) - Las Vegas, NV - 2023年1月10日
What is the best part of working at the company? Great benefits What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Long hours, lack of gratitude from management, and never ending deadlines. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Gossip and stress ridden. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Expect to work 10-12 hour days most of the year. They claim busy season is only a few months, but that’s not accurate since they serve private and municipal clients in addition to public filers.

Productive and fun
Audit Associate (在职员工) - Boston, MA - 2022年4月14日
Everyone I’ve worked with has been great. The managers and seniors really want to help you succeed and they understand that asking questions is necessary to grow and learn. Busy season is busy season, work hard play hard

It's ok
Audit Associate (离职员工) - Grand Rapids, MI - 2022年4月3日
It is public accounting. You are going to work long hours for at least 4 months of the year, and possibly into summer as well depending on the client base. Lots of pressure on staff to meet deadlines.
优点
Ability to work from home and flexibility to work hours that work for you
缺点
Long hours and high stress

Good for exposure
Audit associate (离职员工) - Penang - 2021年11月24日
Good exposure as every few months have different audit engagement. Get to learn/experience new stuff quickly due to steep learning curve. But heavy workload and have to handle multiple jobs concurrently. Seniors are nice though!
优点
Good exposure
缺点
Long work hours

Uneven workloads and little caring/training
Audit Associate (在职员工) - Houston, TX - 2021年6月7日
Piles up work on their good staff/seniors and more or less ignore the others instead of trying to train them. Managers shift blame if anything goes wrong and pretend to care about you and your concerns only to screw you over when they need to. Performance evaluation process is horribly vague and subjective. Training might as well be non-existent. They introduce new templates and apps that no one even knows how to use and you just figure it out.
优点
Clear career progression path, pretty good pay at higher levels
缺点
Punished for being good, busy season is grueling

heavy workload, underappreciated, non-competitive pay
Audit Associate (离职员工) - Kuala Lumpur - 2020年5月21日
+ fast paced environment, great learning curve
- underappreciated efforts, quick burnout
- non-competitive pay
- no overtime pay
- almost nonexistent allowance, very stingy
- medium size firm means workload is at least as bad as (if not worse than) big4, but with lesser salary
- super long hours

Great Place to Advance my career
Audit Associate (在职员工) - Costa Mesa, CA - 2020年5月3日
This office is top notch even among other BDO offices. The partner group is the highest quality and they expect the work to reflect that. They foster a great learning environment. Public accounting busy seasons are intense, but there is so much learned after everyone.

Wonderful people to work with. A lot of smart people to learn from.
Audit Senior Associate (离职员工) - San Jose, CA - 2020年2月12日
People in the firm are very smart and fun to work with. I learned a lot from my managers and peers. Compared to bigger firms, I was given more responsibility over the audit at an earlier part of my career.
