Awful. Zero culture. Trying to get out.

It’s been a tough couple years with structural and technology changes, economic uncertainty, and some growing pains as we try to raise expectations and consistency across the firm. That being said, I generally believe these changes were needed and we are heading in a good direction, even if the execution could have been better.

At the risk of over-generalizing, the people who have come from Big 4 seem to understand the direction things are going and the people that have been at BDO for a decade are struggling more with the change to the status quo.

Happy to dm more or set you up with someone to talk to.

BDO is moving in a direction that no longer values its employees and feels nothing like the company it once was. It used to have a supportive, family-like culture, but now it feels overly corporate, cold, and toxic. The environment has become highly competitive, with employees looking out for themselves, throwing others under the bus, and even reporting on coworkers to management in order to protect their own positions.
It’s also not an ideal company for working mothers, as there is little to no work-life balance. Much of what is presented externally feels like smoke and mirrors designed to make the company appear more supportive and employee-focused than it actually is

Could be better.. But that I'm sure that applies to a companies right now. I have friends in Big4 and they say the same things. Work is work, same grind day in and day out. As my friends would say, happy to have a job right now. 🤷

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
