Just Google BDO and you have your answer.

And if you're slow on the uptake - stay away.

Raises pushed back to Nov. so we’re losing an entire quarters worth of salary increase.

Did they even give a reason why? Obviously the firm is having cashflow issues but I'm just wondering what explanation was provided, if any.

Used to work there and worked directly under one of the senior partners who got filthy rich from the ESOP deal, so I've been following the firm's moves even after my departure.

Back when I was there Wayne was just growing the firm through acquisition which never seemed like the smartest strategy to me, but it appears he was playing the long game: grow top-line and exit down the line.

I didn't have the firm converting to an ESOP on my bingo card, but at this point isn't everyone at the firm aware it was just a roundabout way for the senior partners to cash out?
