Pros

There are great people and great projects to work on and BearingPoint. If you can figure out how to navigate clear of the bad people / bad projects, you will be happy here. Being able to control your own destiny is one of BE's best attributes. There is also a renewed and vigorous re-examination of benefits - specifically the Yale Program and the 401(k) program - which will help bring the company up to industry standards. The financial problems of the past few years were a major drag on these programs and everything else "corporate" about BE, but at the project level there has been much less of an impact. If you are optimistic about the comapny's outlook and not afraid of yesterday's problems, this is a great place to work.

Cons

If you land on a small project, it is pretty easy to become disconnected from corporate BearingPoint. This is probably true of any consulting company, but there is not enough effort on pulling consultants back into the corporate sphere right now. Also, there is quite a legacy from the past few years regarding the company's financial troubles, and there are moments when I question management's ability to overcome that legacy.

Thank you for your review. You refer to a different company, namely BearingPoint Inc. Our company, BearingPoint headquartered in Europe, has been a separate legal entity and conducted a management buyout in 2009. Its development since then is very positive, see our Annual Report: https://www.bearingpoint.com/files/BearingPoint_Annual_Report_24.pdf

Pros

Good pay, good location, other employees are good to work with.

Cons

This organization is deeply mismanaged. The four U.S. partners are consistently at odds with one another and unable to collaborate, often dragging employees into their conflicts. The lead U.S. partner regularly makes inappropriate, sexist remarks, despite being a father to daughters, creating a hostile environment. Employees are encouraged to report issues to HR, but concerns are routinely dismissed, and no meaningful action is taken. Speaking up only puts a target on your back, several employees who voiced concerns were included in subsequent rounds of layoffs. The global leadership team is fully aware of the ongoing dysfunction, especially at the partner level, yet chooses to ignore it in favor of their own career advancement. This lack of accountability at every level makes for an incredibly toxic and demoralizing workplace.
