BearingPoint reviews

Correction: I last worked there in 2005 (choice not available). Bearningpoint (“spinoff” of KPMG, declared bankruptcy in 2009?) had an active subculture of corruption and intimidation of employees (called “consultants” on their company-issued biz cards). One ploy was to coerce “key people” to work on other business, even if they were 100% dedicated for the contract they were hired to work on. “Key people” are always identified in the response to RFPs to win gov business, but BP hiring managers did not disclose who the key people were to new hires. In 2004, BP was orienting several hundred employees, quarterly or so, in large groups at the Tyson Ritz-Carlton. Early in 2004, there was a big article in the WashPost about some irregularity going on there. The article included mention of Managing Directors, bot males and females, yelling at each other at internal meetings. Some of BP’s people and contracts went to Price Waterhouse Coopers after the company declared bankruptcy. Could this scenario be happening at your company? Find out by asking the right questions on your interview, like who the key people are. Of course you will NOT be hired if you ask the see the project documents that created the contract. Some gov contracting companies are only looking to hire “yes” people, as in “ask no questions, just do what you sup tell you do”. Hireling beware.
