Vantaggi
Excellent benefits. Flex time. Ability to work from home. On the client service side, opportunities to advance. Everyone I have met has been very nice and helpful.
Svantaggi
SS&G joined forces with BDO 1/1/2015. On the CORE (HR, IT, Marketing, Internal Accounting) side, most employees are 'silo-ed' in that they do one thing and ONLY one thing. When it was SS&G, the Home Office group worked as a team and nearly everyone could help almost anyone. BDO is huge so you are no longer a name, you are a number. CPE courses for professional staff are mandated and the object of the game is to pass, not learn. When taking the exams, employees are only told the score and never know which answers were correct and which were incorrect. Perhaps if I had wanted to work for a large company, this would be a good experience. I always wanted small - manageable - a place where I know that what I do matters and makes an impact.
