Pros

Opportunity for advancement and flexibility of work schedule.The MD's and senior managers are on the whole a class group of people. They have lost a number of the best and brightest team members but, continue to recurit above average people.The internal systems and processes need upgraded to require less time to complete. Bearingpoint provides a level of thought leadership that inspires team members to develop solutions and processes that aid the client base.Bearingpoint had an education system that developed team members quickly and consistently. Bearingpoint would benefit from reducing the outstanding debt to get the debt monkey off thier backs.

Cons

Reputation in the marketplace currently

Pros

1. There are great opportunities to have responsibilities early in the career. From day 1, you can have exposition to the client, which is very important in a consulting job. Teams are usually small and not very structured. Therefore responsibilities on a given project are not based only on the job title or the experience, but mainly on the actual performance in the project 2. The new management tea is dedicated to turn the company around and they launch many initiatives to empowers the employees such as a training program at the Yale School of Business 3. There is an important knowledge base within the company which helps develop deep knowledge in the practice areas of expertise.

Cons

1. The company is not doing well overall - therefore, there have been many layoffs and there is only a little opportunity to get a raise or a promotion. This year the CEO is saying that the bonus pool is bigger than ever, so we will see how it end up working... 2. Mentoring is not working well, it is not part of the culture of the company. There are great mentors but you need to be lucky to work with them... 3. Compensation is below average for similar job experience. At the same time, hours can add up easily and you may end up working over 70 hours a week in the worst case project

Pros

Experience and travel - I learned more about SQA than I thought I would. I also love travel and in 1.5 years I traveled to many different cities in the US and Canada. Also networked with some amazing people at the staff level and one senior manager that was truly amazing. These people knew SQA and how to help an enterprise achieve their SQA goals.

Cons

While I said travel was good, it is also bad. It kept me away from my family too much. Additoinally, management did not treat the lower levels of staff very well at all. I also worked with a couple of very unprofessional senior managers.
