BearingPoint Applications Developer reviews

Salaries are below national and state averages for entry level development positions. Project pipeline is unstable, which, coupled with high utilization expectations, has led to layoffs in the past. Communication from management is basically non existent, to the point where employees are not informed until well after is necessary.

Unreliable employment: Spring 2008 graduates hired in June were all laid off in September. If you have an H1 visa, it is terminated the day after lay off. The consultants are a level of abstraction between the software you're writing and the end user that can be a frustrating logjam for communication. It can be quite difficult to attain an understanding of the software, leading to incorrect implementations. Lots of pressure to charge to your project (even if not assigned work on your project) If you are not one of the "right people", you will not get much experience or opportunity for advancement. Some of the most talented, productive individuals were not adequately compensated. Very few experienced developers, and they are overworked. Most only have a year or two under their belt and do not have tried and tested methods of development. This means no mentors. They do not have the funds to compensate employees.
