Pros

Not a big corporate machine. Good work usually gets you noticed. I have worked for BearingPoint for 2 years and have gotten commended when doing a good job. There is also a good mix of business consulting which isn't always easy to find, especially strategy work for a younger employee.

Cons

Company is in turmoil. Uncertainty about the company's future. Sincy the company financials have been such a disaster, sometimes you wonder if when you come to work you'll find out that you work for someone else. Also it is embarrasing for clients to look at our financial performance or articles online and then ask questions.

Pros

To be honest I cant think of any "best reasons" other than that it's a fairly recognizable name so it would generally look good on a resume, depending on what you want to go into. I did generally like the people on my project - a rarity being a somewhat female-dominated project in a developing country. But I'm not sure how much that had to do with BE itself, as a lot of them were contractors who have since upped and left. Oh actually, here's one good reason: it seems at least the people I know are generally pretty satisfied with their work-life balance. I had a pretty regular 9 to 5 schedule and so do some colleagues on entirely different domestic projects.

Cons

Virtually no job stability. If you ever end up on the bench for more than 3 weeks you're pretty much screwed. Many people always felt that they needed to be actively looking or have a backup job somewhere. BE will treat you like a corporate cog no matter how well you perform - though probably about as much as any large corporation will.
