Pros

Many good people who I enjoyed working with.

Cons

I got on the wrong side of my hiring manager within three weeks of joining. It was an uphill battle from then on and easily the most toxic working relationship I have ever endured. This senior manager exhibited aggressive, domineering behaviour and foul language. I was constantly made to feel inadequate. Any accomplishments were waved away, any errors were highlighted again and again to the point where my confidence had been completely eroded. The day I was let go was upsetting but I will never forget the wave of relief that washed over me knowing I would never have to see or speak to this abusive person again.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of the working experience you had with us. We do not accept this type of behaviour from anyone in the company, it goes against our workplace policies and it is not in keeping with our culture. It also doesn’t reflect the feedback we receive from staff through staff surveys, 360 feedback etc. It is a shame you didn’t escalate this matter to HR, a partner or other manager in the company at the time, as the issue would have been swiftly dealt with and the situation would not have got to the point as you describe below. Thank you for your feedback, it is good to hear you enjoyed working with colleagues and again, we are sorry to hear of the experience you had with your manager.

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.
