Pros

I would recommend working at BearingPoint only if you don't mind working in a corporate env. It really does depend on the management you are responding to. If it's a nice, supportive management, plus you have a good salary (when you join, cus there are no substantial raises), the experience might be great.

Cons

But with a bad management, honestly, you will want to leave asap. They don't know how to handle the pressure from the client and they immediately send it to us, the developers. Big no, no. Plus, we have 3 calls designed to micromanage you. Who ever heard of a scrum with clients in it??? That's ridiculous for too many reasons. Another 2 of those calls are for developers only, but in reality it's just another form to check if you really are working or not, as if the results aren't enough.

Pros

Having worked at two other consulting firms, I feel like BearingPoint does care about staff. In the U.S., bonuses have been paid for all staff even with last year being a difficult year. The senior leaders voluntarily took 20% pay cuts in Q4 to keep bonuses for junior staff, which is not something I've seen a lot of. Training is really good, with the firm sponsoring an Oxford MBA program and classes at Yale. The leaders across the entire organization are very accessible.

Cons

Like a lot of consulting firms, the economy is tough right now. The good part is there are a number of long term projects, but there have also been people on the bench awhile.
