Pros

The best reasons to work for BearingPoint is that it is an excellent place to build a consulting career and develop the skills needed to be a successful consultant. BE has a very good reputation, especially in the Public Sector, which gives employees the ability to work on a variety of projects.

Cons

Some of the downsides for working at BE include that the stock performance and financial state of the company effects you as an employee as your compensation (i.e. raises, bonuses) is affected and training budgets are cut along with company networking events. The culture of the company is somewhat rigid and there should be more opportunites to network and recieve training.

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.
