Pros

Good entry-level position. They are open to hiring college grads, which is alway nice to help break into the market. Lower level PM's have a lot of control so your work experience will be based on your manager. Mine was good. Be prepared to work off-site and be involved with clients. Responsibility will be given, if you so initiative.

Cons

No tangible work products means unfulfilling work, and often needing to 'look busy' since no work. In the DC area you will be working with the government, most likely, which can be very challenging. A bit stingy on raises in between promotions.

Pros

BearingPoint is a good place to start out if you're inexperienced in the field of consulting and want to get your feet in the sand. The company is willing to hire individuals who do not have a background directly related to consulting, but that are willing to learn. The atmosphere is laid back socially, with plenty of post-work camaraderie among the rank and file. Your fellow coworkers are kind and willing to give words of encouragement and helpful tips in the first weeks of employment. The benefits are in line with the consulting field, and full-time employees get plenty of paid time off to vacation.

Cons

The upper management (read: executives) have no clue where the company is headed. The mantra is simply "work, work, work, and we will turn the corner", but where is that corner headed? Off a cliff? Employees worry daily that their particular business unit may be spun off, or at the very least downsized in the near future as the companies' stock continues to flail in the water. Also, it can be difficult to set your career path within the company - workers will often jump from a project focusing on one discipline to another discipline altogether. Pay doesn't quite compare with some competing consulting firms at entry-level positions, but on the plus side the hours aren't quite as bad as at your competitors, depending on the engagement.
