Pros

Good name. Lot's of oppurtunity if you're not job hopping. If you are, this isn't the place. BE needs committed and talented people who can focus on making the clients happy. If that continues, the rest takes care of itself. Have a great work life balance program. None better!

Cons

Despite profitable and growning...huge debt load is a major drag! It pervades everything in the company! Seems like senior management is really trying to make the best of a bad situation. Seems like we're in a race against time now that the ecomomy has gone in the loo! The hard part is trying to get the job done with all of this hanging over us. Senior management encourages us to keep focused...

Pros

Bearingpoint before the recent Economy and low stock problems was an excellent place to start. Students fresh out of college could get there feet wet great on the job training and local managers who cared. The training was long enough to get you ready for most projects as well as put you in a league higher than what most competitors are at.

Cons

Before the stock problem the main negative of Bearingpoint was bad projects. Project would come that were struggling and programmers would be expecting to spin straw into gold. Many times the coders at HGDC did spin straw into gold.

Pros

Consulting is a great career choice and BearingPoint is no different. My promotion schedule is laid out in front of me and I feel secure in what my future will look like as long as i continue to do good work. BearingPoint seems to pay competitively compared to other consultancies, which is usually more than other career paths. BearingPoint works mostly in Government Services (Public) which is a great place to be with this economy. I am on a long term contract with the government that will be safe regardless of what happends in the economy.

Cons

BearingPoint is struggling mightily. They have a ton of debt that is looming over them. Operationally they are solid and if they find a way to make those debt payments the company will do well. They are an attractive offering and would of been bought by now had the credit markets been more liquid. Not being exactly sure where the future lays and what will become of my secure contract is of concern, however at lower levels such as myself, i am very safe. Secondly I am unsure what affect i will sustain by working in a financially strapped company. I believe my compensation is close to the competitive level for the industry, but future pay/promotions I do have a concern.
