Pros

Had the change to meet some very nice people. Big SAP (also other) projects. One can grow very quickly.

Cons

Extra hours (many) not paid. Not very competitive salary for consultants/senior consultants. Most important for managers is to achieve financials goals and work within budget, even if this means sacrificing very good resources. Very hard to change topics and projects. Most likely you will be sold to several projects at the same time with very unrealistic budget - 10% utilization is quite common practice meaning you will be sold to several projects that you have to work 50% each in reality, but in the "official bookings" is only 10/20%.

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.
