Pros

The main positives I have found are the fact that most engagements in the D.C. area are very flexible in terms of hours and vacation time. Most engagements (depending on the clients) only care that you are billing 40+ hours a week and aren't too stringent as too when you need to show up. Also, working from home is an option used frequently by many employees.

Cons

Laughable benefits and reward packages. Yearly increases for the past couple of years have been nothing more than glorified cost-of-living increases. If advancement and monetary awards matter to you....do not work for this company.

Pros

Great people and the work is interesting. The work/life balance is excellent (depending on sector - Public Services is great), not just for a consulting firm, but for any firm!

Cons

The C-level management team is borderline incompetent. There is no reason a consulting firm with approx $3.5B in revenue and strong utilization should be as close to bankruptcy as BearingPoint is. The overall benefits packages, namely the 401k program, is a joke. They match 25 cents on the dollar and it is vested like a pension.

Pros

Great place to launch a career. A lot of opportunities to travel within Emerging Markets. The work life balance is great and whenever you need a day off, management has no problem giving it to you.

Cons

No respect from management. I got cursed at when I put in my two-weeks notice. Edwin Harbach has no vision for the company. I started looking for a new job on the first day he became CEO. He said in our first global employee call that he is not a big vision guy. Proverbs 29:18 says "Where there is no vision, the people perish" God's word is proving again to be true and right. I will keep all BearingPoint employees in my prayers as I move on. When I took the Yale Consulting Foundations training, I thought that would help me in my career, and give me a pretty good chance of getting promoted. But when I went to it, it actually HURT me when it came to my Performance Review. In fact, my Managing Director told me I would not be getting promoted because I went to this training for a week!
