BearingPoint Reviews in Australia

Pros

Most team-mates are friendly and down-to-earth
Strong work ethic
Global presence
Top-tier clients
Significant intellectual property and qualifications globally (helps in winning new work)

Cons

Global "parent" restricted bonus pools (until recent changes)
Desired engagements can be difficult to get onto unless you know the Engagement Manager
Communication between teams can be lacking (highly siloed solution groups)

Advice to Senior Management

Corporate vision & strategy needs to be communicated more clearly down the chain
Staff reviews and recognition needs to be more personal

Pros

Medium size company, flexible, ambitious, focus on its professional domain.

Cons

Less support from company after new MBO in Australia

Pros

Great people and great culture. Work life balance is highly regarded at BearingPoint - we are not expected to work late unless absolutely required. Salary is above average and promotion and pay increment is purely based on merit.

Cons

Just like any large firm, red tape and politics exist but wouldn't consider it an issue to the daily job. Career growth is great if you are doing what BE wants to do - not much chance to branch out and develop your own interest.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep talking to the employees.

Pros

There is a lot of scope in your work, that allows for autonomy, flexibility which leads to greater career progression.
Many larger consulting firms lack this.

Cons

Due to financial uncertainties over the viability of the business, there are too many changes to the management team to allow for long term business planning and strategic direction setting. This has compounded the difficulty in retaining talents within the firm

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on its people, and provide clear concise communications. Maintain stability within the executive management team to combat uncertainties people feel at the grassroots. Stop being reactive, but need to remain proactive and strive for longer term goals and directions.
