Pros

There is excellent work / life balance within certain practices of the company. Bill your 8 hours and then go home. No weekend work. Very little travel. Mostly great people to work with on your teams.

Cons

-Bad communication from MD on vision of practice -No mentoring from senior level employees for junior employees -Focus on selling of work rather than execution of current projects -Favoritism for certain team members and no chance for you to make a difference after that happens -No travel if that what interests you -Bonus metrics not defined ever -Compensation theory and practice not clearing defined, no sense of any sort of identifiable rating process

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.
