Pros

The organization has tremendous spirit and espirit de corps among top performers. They set the bar high, then try to bring along all teammates in the spirit of team victory over business challenges. Even in their toughest trials, such as they experience now, they continue to deliver acclaimed customer service to customers with an eye to avoiding the panics associated with buy outs and cannibalization. They understand people are the key to the team, and they take especially good care of their teammates. I am consistently inspired by the open, honest talk and feedback, the focus on improvement, and the willingness of senior leaders within the company to listen to concerns from the field and act upon them for the good of the larger team. BearingPoint as a name may fade, but the tradition of excellence their people have come to be known for will shine brightly for their future customers and employers.

Cons

There is only one- the dissolution of the organization and cannibalization to other major professional service consulting firms means we all need to start over in a new organization. Uncertainty for what it will take to continue on the career path will most likely pass, but for now, that is the only unfortunate turn to date.

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.
