Pros

The people in BearingPoint all have entrepreneurial spirits and a disregard for formality. You own your career: you are not limited by bureaucracy and tradition. You have the ability to grow as much as you want, try as much as you want, accomplish as much as you want. Nobody will tell you no, you can't do that.

Cons

This freewheeling attitude has hurt the company: the absence of uniform processes, structure, and knowledge. Also, while you have opportunities for personal growth, your compensation and recognition may not grow accordingly. We're a bankrupt company, which does not leave me feeling very confident in our future.

Pros

I truthfully owe much to BearingPoint, INC. They helped me grow so that I will be better prepared when I move on. The people are what make BearingPoint, because there are some days where it can be plain miserable, but the people help you through that.

Cons

The pay isn't as great as it could be, but you have to start somewhere. Also, BE does not expense anything, it's a little disappointing traveling further than you expected and BE being very inconsistent about pay, but want you to squander money by travelling. But once again--you're starting somewhere.

Pros

For me the best reason was the flexibility allowed at my practice when taking time-off's and such. This after a very demanding time in the project where we had to spend very long hours.

Cons

Many: - Your growth and salary raise are dependant upon ONLY two things 1) are you in good books of your MD and 2) your ability to fight tirelessly for the piece(small) of pie every performance period. Most of the money will go to MD and senior managers and if they are considerate enough and willing, will pass peanuts to people below. - Poor leadership - Projects are run with bare minimum resources for higher profitability. No fallback plan on a critical resource. The team will be burdened if some people leave in the middle of the project. Hectic schedules. - Their internal recognition Awards are a joke. There were people who got those awards for really doing a great job, but there are times when you'll be awed by their ability in awarding really worthless people for what so ever reasons - In a typical project only 50% of the people really do the work. Rest just get by and there seems no accountability. the 50% who work will be required to compensate for the rest. - The quality of people has deteriorated over a period of time for above reasons
