Pros

The schedule is very flexible. Opportunity to work in different fields and industries. They pay the market rate. They also have a good solid benefits package. There are also opportunities to travel. Since there are offices world-wide, it is also possible to relocate to another office. There is also the opportunity to meet and work with many different types of people.

Cons

Not profitable. Heavily focused on public sector. Since the work is usually in Washignton, DC, the commute is very often a pain the the rear end. Sometimes the team can be located in various parts of the country. This can lead to communication problems as well as lower moral.

Pros

BearingPoiont is a company that has had well-documented financial troubles over the past 5 years. New executive (C-level) managemement has done a great job righting the ship. Employees for the most part feel confident in the executive management team to do what it takes to get our financials back on track. Employees are fairly compensated relative to the market. Felxibility with time off and working remotely is an added perk.

Cons

Our company's financial performance, especially in the stick market, is quite simply, poor. The right people are in place to turn things around, but we need to see results in order for our shareholders to have the confidence to invest more into the company.

Pros

The work environment is great with a fairly lenient dress code, jeans and t-shirts allowed on Fridays. The people here are very competent technically and are very willing to teach what they know. The performance reviews are helpful in explaining areas to work on to reach the next level. Using the company network to take care of personal tasks, e-mail, credit cards, etc, is allowed and the internet usage is not really prohibited. Usually projects are done with partner programming so coding is done in pairs, where one partner reviews the other's code and gives advice as well as being able to learn. It is a good system for bettering one's programming skills.

Cons

One of the downsides to working at BearingPoint is not having direct contact with the client, but instead going through an engagement team. The engagement team may not always understand what the client really needs and having requirements translated through a middle man can cause problems and miscommunication. Another downside is that there is not always a steady stream of projects available to work on so there can be some downtime. It is also not always possible to work with a partner, which takes away the benefits of pair programming. The number of paid holidays (10) is not as many as other companies have.
