Poor Treatment of Clients and Employees
The experiences of clients and employees alike paint a bleak picture of BDO's culture and service. Multiple reviewers described being treated with disrespect and rudeness by receptionists and staff members, with one reviewer even feeling the need to contact the police and HMRC to verify the company's legitimacy.
Lack of Professionalism and Accountability
Several reviewers accused the company of being unprofessional, with senior management being described as "power-hungry, ignorant, and selfish". Employees felt undervalued and unsupported, with no opportunity for progression or fair treatment.
Poor Communication and Feedback
Reviewers reported receiving inadequate or misleading feedback, with one candidate being told they were being rejected due to initiating conversation with a panel member in a lift. Another reviewer was told they should not have asked how the director's day was going, implying that the director felt threatened.
Awful Working Conditions
Employees reported feeling like a "number" rather than a valued member of the team, with one reviewer describing the workplace as a "prison". There were also claims of bully tactics, stress, and poor working conditions, with no support from HR.
Unreliable and Inconsiderate
The company's financial advisors were criticized for being unreliable and inconsiderate, with one reviewer being told that they had already found someone else for the role during an interview. Another reviewer reported receiving reminders despite already sending payment receipts multiple times.
