Moved to BDO from PwC about 4 months ago. The biggest difference so far is limited technology. BDO is years behind PwC in terms of technology, however , in terms of culture , I love BDO ( maybe is just the people i work with )

Congrats that you find new place that you feel comfort with, which office did you move to?

Moved a year ago after a long time with B4 - culture is soooo much better, more teaming.

sounds great, what office did you move to?

Much more work life balance. Lower expectations in the best way possible. Not as toxic. It’s ok to mess up. It’s a learning environment.

Business model is to use cheap, underpaid labor from college grads who can't go elsewhere or pay debts. Churn em and burn em.
