Drama right now about the pto policy... They are reducing our max accrued hours by a lot. In advisory, id ask who you will be working with and where... They are spread all over the country from what I can tell. So you might not have a team in your office per se. Ask about working from home, travel, and flexibility to see if you like the answers. I think most partners at bdo are open, but might just be my region. I always ask about the interviewer's career path. Gives you insight into how they got there and why they are still in public accounting!
