Pros

There are many different BearingPoints - if you work in a practice which has work, it can be a great place.

Cons

It's totally dependent on the practice. Mine did no business development (everybody working) and when a project ended there was no work. 20 people were placed outside of the practice unit, but all of the middle management were let go. Projects not a career anymore.. It's also almost impossible to see how BE can survive. It's a $7M market cap with $1B of bond debt overhanging it.

Pros

BE could be a good starting point for someone just out of b-school to get a broad range of experience. But for mid-tier professionals, I would not recommend this firm, especially if you are joining from outside and did not "grow up" here. A recent "brain drain" has commenced, so absent some kind of miracle, BE as we know it will no longer exist some time in Q1 of 09.

Cons

As a result of financial mismanagement, and a top heavy organization, BE was de-listed from the NYSE. Bankruptcy is real possibility for 2009. Benefits poor and getting worse, no match on 401-K. No real connection to other professionals you do not work directly with on client projects.
