Considering an opportunity in tax at BDO. Anyone have any info about firm culture? Any orthodox presence at the Principal/Director ranks? Any issues with Shabbos/holiday time off? Thanks in advance.

I have recently become more observant and work in tax at BDO. Firm morale is down right now because of an announcement we got this week that they have suspended non-client expenditures firm wide through the end of the year (busy season meals, snacks/drinks in the break room/holday parties). That being said, I do know at my office there was an orthodox manager that was given no issue to observe shabbos and the holidays. I was also told that I would not have that issue (I am a staff). This does mean I would have to work longer Sundays but I am okay with that.

Thanks!
