Pros

You get a chance to work with some highly talented people

Cons

Pay for performance is a complete myth; Most of the profits are eaten by senior leadership leaving peanuts to staff who are the actual people generating revenues to the firm.

Pros

Good work gets recognized. Also, the company has a very flat hierarchy so lots of contact, mentoring from most MD's. Also, when my wife and I had our first child, the firm was terrific at making sure I had enough time away from projects to focus on family.

Cons

Can be difficult to move across projects. Projects tend to be of longer duration than at other firms (4 - 10 months typical). This makes it tough to build a broad base of experience unless you've spent significant time at the firm. Also, the commercial side of BE's consulting suffered serious damage when the company restated earnings a few years ago. As it stands, the public practice is really the only part of the firm that is considered competetive.

Pros

Great people and great culture. Work life balance is highly regarded at BearingPoint - we are not expected to work late unless absolutely required. Salary is above average and promotion and pay increment is purely based on merit.

Cons

Just like any large firm, red tape and politics exist but wouldn't consider it an issue to the daily job. Career growth is great if you are doing what BE wants to do - not much chance to branch out and develop your own interest.
