BearingPoint – “Layoff Casuality”

Pros

A stepping stone to somewhere else, perhaps Deloitte or PWC? Depending upon your business unit, the client, and your immediate management, It can be a pleasant place to work, particularly if you're a young up-n-comer devoted to your career with little family demands.

Cons

Much is required during your off time, e.g., training, "housekeeping," etc., much of which is basically a waste of time. All of this impacts the balance of one's workand home life. The company is selling off piece by piece. Job security is a huge issue under these circumstances of course, no matter what management may tell you.
