Pros

The work-life balance was great. To the point that it gets a bit ridiculous and many people take advantage of that. People are great too. Not everyone, but for the most part you meet some great smart people on every engagement.

Cons

There is little to no development, mentorship, or training of talent. It seems like senior management is pursuing their own goals ( for most part it is getting follow on work at any cost) and ignore individual development needs. For example if you want to go on training rather than a project that does not fit your career aspiration, you are more likely to go on a project if they don't have other bodies to put on it. Performance reviews mean very little as those are decided well before the review occurs and what you put in your self assessment means very little. For example, having realized that, I just cut and pasted my previous cycle review into the new cycle and no one even noticed. occur under a banner of transparency, but they are anything close to that.

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.
