Bearingpoint scoop at the top

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture of the company is pretty good. Work from home is a plus. Benefits are pretty comparable to other companies. Vacation/ time off is pretty good. Soon as you are either a senior consultant or higher, you get 5 weeks of sick time and/ or vacation

Cons

Promotions and salary increases are far and few. Folks on engagements are treated pretty harshly in my opinion. They are treated like as if they were step children. Even though most engagement folks obviously work in the field and at client sites, I still think that more personal involvement from their engagement managers is necessary so that they don't feel like they have been disregarded, etc.

Great place to work, great people and work/life balance, but poorly run company

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and the work is interesting. The work/life balance is excellent (depending on sector - Public Services is great), not just for a consulting firm, but for any firm!

Cons

The C-level management team is borderline incompetent. There is no reason a consulting firm with approx $3.5B in revenue and strong utilization should be as close to bankruptcy as BearingPoint is. The overall benefits packages, namely the 401k program, is a joke. They match 25 cents on the dollar and it is vested like a pension.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish" - Proverbs 29:18; DONT DRINK THE KOOL-AID!!

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to launch a career. A lot of opportunities to travel within Emerging Markets. The work life balance is great and whenever you need a day off, management has no problem giving it to you.

Cons

No respect from management. I got cursed at when I put in my two-weeks notice. Edwin Harbach has no vision for the company. I started looking for a new job on the first day he became CEO. He said in our first global employee call that he is not a big vision guy. Proverbs 29:18 says "Where there is no vision, the people perish" God's word is proving again to be true and right. I will keep all BearingPoint employees in my prayers as I move on. When I took the Yale Consulting Foundations training, I thought that would help me in my career, and give me a pretty good chance of getting promoted. But when I went to it, it actually HURT me when it came to my Performance Review. In fact, my Managing Director told me I would not be getting promoted because I went to this training for a week!
