Pros

BearingPoint is a great place to work if you want to coast. The work is not that challenging and there is great flexibility in work/life balance. It also seems that we have a great amount of vacation time which, we can carry 125% of into the next year. You also get paid unused vacation if you decide to leave the company.

Cons

Leadership is especially lacking in the junior ranks (i.e. manager, senior consultant level). BearingPoint touts their management training program with Yale, but in reality I have yet to see any significant changes from those who have attended. Development for the workforce is also lacking in specific functional areas...there seems to be a lot of useless online courses, but no specific developmental training for functional career tracks.

Pros

Geographic diversity; industry diversity; 5 weeks vacation

Cons

publically traded professional services company; ruthless at utilization numbers; larger organization does not understand the different competancies within (e.g., strategy consulting); decision-making extremely short-term driven; no support from executive leadership to provide practices the tools needed to succeed (e.g., strategy consultants need access to research, local offices from which to work together, etc.). They eliminated the San Francisco office and expected consultants living in that area to commute 1.5 hours each way to Mountain View. A 3 hour commute, on top of 10+ hour workdays, is asking too much of employees. I was promoted to Manager during my time there and was not given a raise, at all. The change in expectations from Senior Consultant to Manager are significant, and to be given ZERO pay increase was extremely insulting.

Pros

4 weeks PTO is about the only positive thing about BE.

Cons

Management treats people very unfairly. New hires with no experience are brought in at higher salaries than people who have already proven themselves. Do your research and make sure you get paid fairly or they will bring you in as low as possible. They will promise to give you increases, but they never come through. People doing the same job are paid very differently. Bottom line - they treat employees poorly and do not pay fair at all. They are losing alot of people due to this. It seems as if they pay men drastically higher then female employees as well!!!
