      BearingPoint

      Senior business consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work - life balance is better compared to other big consulting companies. In general great people, very knowlegdeable, great methodology, excellent training / learning resources.

      Cons

      Big groups of good people have been leaving due to uncertainty of the company's future. C-level management not forthcoming about options regarding the company's debt problem, acquisitions, bankruptcy filing. THe company has some excellent senior managers, but some of them do not care about developing people, and providing meaningful growth opportunities for them, and do not give them a chance to learn new competencies.

      BearingPoint ok place to work, needs improvement.

      Business consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management provides opportunity for employees to handle their own business. Management provided opportunity to work from home without much hassle. Training and certification opportunities continue to be available, for example: Lean Six Sigma training, Project Management Professional certification training. The web-based Learning Management System is robust and easily accessible. Management has been very good about articulating the recent shift into bankruptcy. The current financial situation in the company should set the stage for a stronger company when BearingPoint emerges from bankruptcy. The debt situation has been a dark cloud hanging over the company for a long time and once that is lifted there should be more money and resources available to employees and the company as a whole.

      Cons

      Working on a staff augment project is not recommended. Promotions/raises only happen once a year and occur in February/March time-frame vs. end of year. 2008 bonuses also not announced until March of 2009, to be paid sometime in the summer of 2009. The sectors are very insular, each doing things their own way and not providing much opportunity to move to a new sector. If you start in Public Services, you can plan on being a Public Services consultant for a long time. In general, the life of a consultant is not recommended for individuals who like decision making. As a consultant your job is to provide recommendations and insight that can either be implemented or ignored depending on the mood of the client. Think of it as having all of the responsibility for success, but none of the authority to make it happen.

      Good and Bad, but the bad outweigh the good

      Senior business consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people in BearingPoint all have entrepreneurial spirits and a disregard for formality. You own your career: you are not limited by bureaucracy and tradition. You have the ability to grow as much as you want, try as much as you want, accomplish as much as you want. Nobody will tell you no, you can't do that.

      Cons

      This freewheeling attitude has hurt the company: the absence of uniform processes, structure, and knowledge. Also, while you have opportunities for personal growth, your compensation and recognition may not grow accordingly. We're a bankrupt company, which does not leave me feeling very confident in our future.
