Pros

BearingPoint has a broad cross section of clients to work with from government to the private sector. The benefit is that you have opportunities to be exposed to and learn about different fields.

Cons

BearingPoint does a poor job of keeping compensation competitive. The majority of our competitors periodically adjust salaries of their staff to keep them in line with the market, BearingPoint does not practice this at all. The results are that we lose people at a higher rate then our competitors since we do not keep salaries competitive. This greats a steady cycle of trained staff leaving to be replaced by untrained staff which adversely affects our ability to consistently deliver to our clients.

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.
