Pros

Like most consulting firms, the ability to have exposure to a vast number of industries and clients, is one to best reasons to work at BearingPoint. Also, they are pretty good about employees work/life balance needs (i.e. Telecommunting, Maternity leave, etc.)

Cons

They pay is pretty bad (compared to industry standards) and the promotion criteria seems to be very skewed. Some times it about performance, some times about how long you've been there, some times it's about who you knao, and some times it's about just being lucky. They run on a platform of promotion through performance but I don't see that most of the time.

Pros

Although it varies across each of the different areas, I was fortunate to have a great line of management that is very open and supportive. They have been really great with keeping our group connected through monthly meetings/get togethers and weekly calls. This is very important since most consultants travel often and are not always in the office and can sometimes feel "disconnected" from what is going on.

Cons

The biggest downside to working at BearingPoint is the instability of the company. We are having major financial problems and debt restructuring that are leaving many people confused and job security is an issue.

Pros

Low walls culture, decent pay and benefits. BE has been good to me, sorry to see it all get broken up and sold off. Like most companies, it is all about the strength of your local management. I have been generally treated as a competent adult, and allowed to make my own path. Your mileage may very.

Cons

Working for a company in bankruptcy is always a bad idea. The firm is getting sold off piece-by-piece, which is probably the right move. The back office costs were too high, so it makes sense to graft the worthwhile (revenue generating) parts onto a healthy organization.
