Salary and development
AUDIT SENIOR (Former Employee) - Johannesburg - 13 May 2021
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedFor me the salary is very low and after I asked about it my contract was not renewed. The development is very slow. Its not all the offices, its the JHB office that has these difficulties and its difficult to move to another office because the current director needs to approve that.
Pros
its good for training and when you have apply for a full time employment
Cons
working overtime without compensation

Poor management and stressful environment
High turnover of managers due to poor leadership, working ridiculous hours and hostile culture in the regional office. Employees are generally paid well below the market. Both trainees and managers work extra hours which are unpaid. You can learn alot due to diverse range of clients
Pros
Good learning environment and leave days
Cons
Long hours, low pay, poor leadership

It's just OK
JUNIOR CORPORATE TAX CONSULTANT (Former Employee) - Illovo, Gauteng - 13 October 2019
It's a great place to gain work experience, but it's no place to be for long-term career advancements. There's very little room to grow in terms of both promotions and salary.

Productive but biased management
Trainee Accountant/Auditor (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 12 March 2019
Productive day at work, mostly out on clients. I learned how to audit the manufacturing, mining, and logistics industries. Management is very bias when it comes to performance ratings but is easily approachable. The workplace culture is relaxed and warm. Hardest part of the job is adapting to change and travelling.The most enjoyable part of the job is being with fellow trainees whom you can share ideas with and learn from.
Pros
Overtime benefits and travel claim
Cons
Low ratings resulting in low performance bonuses

Friendly work environment
Vacation Student (Former Employee) - Port Elizabeth, EC - 19 June 2015
I was there for a short period of time as a Vacation Student but the exposure and experience I got from BDO was very valueable. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made me feel at home. During this short-period of time, I learnt how to conduct myself in a professional manner and customer care.
Pros
exposure, fun work environment, fair pay
