The pitfalls of inorganic growth. They're acquiring all these smaller firms who likely have a good number of staff that don't have the requisite experience for the clients that BDO has. Layoffs were inevitable.

^They're winning public jobs but still don't have the resources to do a fully compliant SOX audit. They continue to get killed on PCAOB Reviews, specifically on AS5 and integrating their audits. They really need to commit to fully staffing these PCAOB jobs with the necessary resources to do the job correctly. Totally agree with you on stretching staff too thin. They try to run a PCAOB engagement like just another one of their non-SOX engagements and it's just not fair to the staff.

^BDO management must have seen some value when they merged them in. All that I've seen lately is that they trim the fat, and then the morale of the remaining staff drops. So much for a bigger and better BDO. I think Matt Becker and Wayne Berson need to rethink their strategy.

^agreed

^What exactly is BDOs firm vision? Do they want to be a competitor to the B4? Do they want to be the best in the mid market and own that market? What vision does management communicate to the employees of the firm?

They have a large gap to make make up if they want to close in on #4. They have the depth of knowledge to take on the Big 4, as they're winning more public audits. However, they're stretching their staff too thin to get the financial results to make it work. Their CLIMB vision looked good at it's start, but I now have my doubts.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
