Pros

Small size company, faster growth potential

Cons

People are okay. It all comes down to what you 'show' or demonstrate, and not just your work. Very hierarchical.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We always strive to foster collaboration and inclusivity in BearingPoint. While we do have a grading structure in the business to ensure that senior roles exist to provide guidance and support, we regularly receive positive feedback that day-to-day life reflects a flat hierarchy. This allows all employees to contribute their ideas and initiatives to the practice and drive our people centric culture. We also value genuine contributions and believe that success is based on the quality of work and teamwork, not just visibility. These aspects are regularly reviewed and discussed in ‘Continuous Conversations’ and performance reviews. We urge you to reach out to your DM, DP or HR to discuss any concerns you have on work contributions with the team. Your insights are valuable to us, and we would welcome a further discussion so that we can better understand your experience and work towards making improvements.

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.
