Pros

BearingPoint will take chances on young consultants trying to get into the field. However the onus is on them to grow their careers. BearingPoint has a competent training program at Yale which is a unique course within the consulting world.

Cons

Overall the company is very clique-ish; where Sr. Managers stake out young consultants to become their lackeys going forward. Either you are part of that group or you are on the outside. Working for every MD is a different experience, which makes the entire experience good or bad depending on your MD and not the company; . There is no unifying culture.

Pros

Great people and the work is interesting. The work/life balance is excellent (depending on sector - Public Services is great), not just for a consulting firm, but for any firm!

Cons

The C-level management team is borderline incompetent. There is no reason a consulting firm with approx $3.5B in revenue and strong utilization should be as close to bankruptcy as BearingPoint is. The overall benefits packages, namely the 401k program, is a joke. They match 25 cents on the dollar and it is vested like a pension.

Pros

The best reason to work for BearingPoint is that it is a great place to start your professional career and get in on the ground floor of consulting.

Cons

BearingPoint is currently going through severe financial distress and the future of the company is uncertain. Compensation and benefits are also below the market average for similar jobs. The number one downfall of BearingPoint is its total lack of investment in training and nurturing of its employees. Consulting is a people business and not training and growing the skills of your work force is suicidal.
