Does anyone have any good or bad experiences they can share about working for or interviewing at Siegfried, CFGI, AEW Consulting, or BDO.

When I was an intern at a bank. The BDO auditors we hired were not happy that I had full access to the accounting system, payroll process, and free will to change any process I wanted. Besides that no I don’t.

Haha okay sounds like they do their jobs then 😂

I’m also curious about CFGI. Never heard of it before and now a recruiter is trying to get me an interview and I’m curious if it’s as good as it sounds

like

My recruiter has made it sound very appealing as well! Trying to gauge how much truth there is in what they’re saying.

I’ve been at BDO for the last few years, and I like it! It is my first job out of college though so not sure how my experience here would compare elsewhere, but I personally like my teams, and feel like I work with smart people who do care about my well-being. There have been both positive and negative moments but overall those are mostly related to general PA issues (like busy season hours), so I personally don’t put the blame on the firm. Do you have any specific questions? I’d be happy to answer

Very similar experience. I mainly left BDO to go for a different service line, but I enjoyed my time there. I think it depends a lot on the culture of the specific office you are looking at. Some offices seemed better than others.

I made it through final rounds of Siegfried. Was certain they were giving me an offer and they even explained the offer process to me at the very end. I got rejected the next day. However, I did speak to an associate as part of my interview process and she basically said that all the things they would sell me on was overrated

I’ve been with Siegfried for ~18 months, let me know if you want to know any specifics and I’m happy to share.

Everything from financial reporting, to FP&A, to IA, and controller roles. We get exposed to a lot, so I’ve see colleagues take great exits.
