BDO borrowed to do ESOP.
Existing senior partners did well.
But that interest expense is a real burden.
Check out all the negative BDO posts.
People who know…Avoid BDO.
That’s correct and to top it off First Brand bankruptcy has also caused significant damage to the brand and reputation. They are having difficulty gaining and retaining client. People who know avoid BDO.
At senior manager the only thing you should be thinking is "can I make partner?" BDO already screwed young partners and senior managers so most left. RSM MAYBE will screw us soon but they have not yet.
I would definitely not go to RSM if they won’t tell you pay
BDO’s compensation package is competitive… maybe OP just hasn’t reached that part of the interviewing/ hiring process.
I don’t see why you’d leave RSM for BDO for the same title. I don’t see how that’s different from where you are right now
For me RSM, BDO, GT, etc. are all the same. Public accounting is going through changes across the board right now, and they are not really favorable to the “regular” employees. At the end of the day, what makes the real difference is the leader(s) of your local practice and the team with whom you work. I enjoy working at BDO (as much as a someone can really enjoy working in public accounting) and I don’t have any complaint about compensation, benefits, and flexibility. You can’t make a decision based solely on the comments you see on this anonymous platform. The high-performing, successful, and respected professionals are not the one bashing their employers on FishBowl!
BDO sucks. The culture is poop.
BDO vs BDO! Please elaborate more as to why there is poop at BDO.
Same difference
