Pros

The employees at BearingPoint are some of the most talented in their fields. Unfortunately, prior senior management did a poor job directing the company and the business model is not working.

Cons

Financial difficulties including significant debt and lack of profitability put the company's future in doubt.

The programs are highly competitive, reflecting the importance we place on a long-term relationship with our employees.

Cons

Like any large corporation, one needs to be involved in company politics to enhance your career to the very top.

Pros

As BE's a relatively young company, there are ample opportunities to help shape its internal and external direction. Leadership has been enthusiastic in its encouragement of employees at all levels to 'get involved' - in peer advising, mentoring, community volunteering, process improvement, and skill development programs. Despite BE's financial troubles, it's managed to recruit stellar talent and the engagement teams w/ whom I've work reflect passion, dedication and a diverse group of professionals ready to grow in their careers while making a difference. In short: the company will probably be bankrupt by week's end (mid Feburary), but it's got solid work across every major commercial and federal sector that's not going away. For those interested in taking the reigns and driving change, there are opportunities aplenty.

Cons

There's very little continuity across leadership in how Managing Directors (MDs) stay connected w/ their account teams (who, by nature of consulting, are on site w/ their clients). The result is that some accounts have clear cut transparency across initiatives and opportunities, while others risk becoming isolated/stove piped w/out much reach back to corporate BE.
