Pros

Best part of BearingPoint was the people. I've made more lifelong friends there than all other of my employers combined. In addition, management seems to promote a strong work-life balance.

Cons

Management tends to separate junior staff from the client on client site. As a senior management analyst, I attended very few meeting involving the client. I usually received tasks second hand from my manager rather than hearing it directly from the client. This unfortunately caused unnecessary work for everyone when delivering a product. BearingPoint also tends to take performance and business development in consideration more than actual management skills when it comes to promotions.

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.
