The actual project you end up on will determine your opinion of the company and the range seems to be quite extreme. - Business Analyst BearingPoint Employee Review

Pros

BearingPoint is an excellent place to start fresh out of school. If you end up on a decent, long-term project, getting your first promotion in roughly a year seems highly likely. The paid-time-off is about as good as it gets, at 20 days. Supposedly, there are many opportunities for mobility within the company, although moving around is not typically good for career advancement.

Cons

Employee performance reviews used to be semi-annual; now they come around only once a year. This means you have to wait until year end for possible promotions. The poor financial status of the company is highly reflected in employee raises and promotions. Does not reimburse for advanced degree. If you're not on a project and sitting on the bench for longer than a month, it appears highly likely that you will be let go. May not be your fault whatsoever but the bottom line for this company has been the top priority especially as of late.

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.
