BearingPoint reviews

In terms of career advancement, this depends on your particular practice or MD team. If the practice or MD has a lot of projects in the pipeline, then you can expect to advance rapidly in terms of promotions and pay raises. However, if projects are lacking within your group, then your utilization number will suffer, which in this case you will not proceed very far, particularly on the bench, and risk removal from the company. Travel opportunities are excellent, again depending on your practice. Normally, with the exception of public services, you will be expected to travel a lot, particularly within the U.S. or even internationally. For public services, employees tend to be staffed locally on multi-year projects, with normal 9 to 5 jobs, so there is a more probable work-life balance with no travel requirements. For the rest, work-life balance can be challenging, since there is an expectation of working over 40 hours a week, and sometimes on the weekends. There is a mandatory training program at the Yale School of Management in New Haven, CT taught by Yale professors, which is very excellent. There is also a clear career path with designated levels; however, promotions are another question.

Bearingpoint has some sharp key leaders in Management that are capable of winning big deals. Due to this as a consultant you can explore diverse opportunities, interesting clients, and grow a network of smart people that you'll stay connected with for a long time. The new Yale training program is much improved, and the marketting of what the company does has become much more focused.
