Pros
Diverse client base and projects spaning broad industries. BearingPoint is a large, global consulting firm with over 15,000 employees in NA, EMEA and APAC that covers about every industry, it's conceivable that you can get to work on projects that have different flavors if you stick around long enough and are lucky. However, you need to manage it proactively, because you don't want to get piegon-holed to do one thing over and over again.
Cons
Because the P&L is managed by the industry group, the management consulting usually doesn't get the first pick on project staffing. Thus, when plum projectsare scarce, you may end up in an unpleasant situation if you're in management consulting.
