Pros

Great place to start your career, but once you've acquired some skills its time to leave. Some people say BE pays well, but that's assuming you came into BE with a high salary.

Cons

The company is in dire straits at this point. The executives continue to try to sell us the corporate Kool-Aid but the writing is on the wall, the stock is hovering around a quarter, and the employees are sick of it. Salary does not correlate to work performed or expected of employee.

Pros

Consulting is, as a general rule of thumb, a tough profession in which success is achieved, primarily, through personal effectiveness. Long hours, terrible travel schedule, office politics, overly zealous focus on chargeability, and other issues are rarely mitigated by the work diversity, good pay, and the relationship capital typically built over several years of consulting. That being said, BearingPoint is an awesome place to begin or mature into ones career. Over the years, I have greatly enjoyed my projects, colleagues, work-life balance, pay, and overall growth in business and technology exposure afforded me. At a macro level, all consulting firms have "issues", and BearingPoint is no different. But I think the pros far outweigh the cons, and I would have no problem recommending BearingPoint to anyone as a place where you can truly do some of the best work of your career. The structure is in place, the opportunities are afforded, and the people are encouraging. All it takes is initiative, personal effectiveness, leadership, and, of course, a desire to succeed. If you have these qualities in your work ethos, you WILL do very well at BearingPoint.

Cons

Base salary is pretty good, but unfortunately, that's the extent of compensation. Bonuses do not trickle down, and only a small percentage of the highest performers (usually, those with great sales metrics) succeed in getting bonuses. Also, the health benefits are getting to be expensive. However, one of the greatest perks of this firm is it's vacation allotment -- a whopping 25 days starting off! Other issues, such as long hours, travel, etc. are part and parcel of all consulting companies, not just BearingPoint. I have found, though, that management is super sensitive to personal needs and always seem to respond to special needs during projects and appear to routinely work towards the needs of employees and clients.
