Pros

nice place to start career with low salary. There is learning opportunity with bearing point. The collage freshers likes to work for Bearingpoint since most of the projects are travel intensive. I have seen people at bearingpoint who have started at the lowest level and in 10 years with company they reached to managing director level. Also, bearingpoint likes to hire collage fresh out since they demand less salary compared to the competitor. They are enthusiastic to drive their promising career at jet speed would be good fit. When one is on bench the company don't give them pick slip in 2-3 weeks. I have seen people sitting on bench for like 6-8 months and survive with BE.

Cons

The Leadership team is strangled with accounting mess. One after another they have accumulated so much liability that the BE is almost in 1Bn debt. The core accounting policies are very rigid. The Time and Expense recording software has wide variety of loopholes. The Performance review structure is very complex and complicated. One has to be master of all in order to get promoted or get salary raise. The company had to pay millions in fine to the government for not submitting year end sheet. That is all part of accounting mess. The leadership team does not have a vision.

Pros

Some of the best reasons to work for BearingPoint are getting to work for a lot of Fortune 500 Companies. The work life balance is good with lots of vacation. The Per diem is also very nice when you're on the road. The salaries are also quite competitive considering they have to overcompensate people to not leave the company.

Cons

The job stability and overall health of the company is very much a reason for concern. There has also been quite a talent flight to the competitors over the past year. There is basically zero job stability for anyone on the bench

Pros

The pay and the prospect that they are going to be acquired by big firms

Cons

Uncertainty of the state of the company. Quick to layoff resources as soon as they get on the bench regardless of how long they have been with the company and how well/how hard they have worked on project and regardless of how indispensable this resource could be for the company in the long run.
