Pigs fly – with enough thrust. It’s actually a guidance problem. - Senior Manager BearingPoint Employee Review

Pros

There are many different BearingPoints - if you work in a practice which has work, it can be a great place.

Cons

It's totally dependent on the practice. Mine did no business development (everybody working) and when a project ended there was no work. 20 people were placed outside of the practice unit, but all of the middle management were let go. Projects not a career anymore.. It's also almost impossible to see how BE can survive. It's a $7M market cap with $1B of bond debt overhanging it.

Thank you for your review. You refer to a different company, namely BearingPoint Inc. Our company, BearingPoint headquartered in Europe, has been a separate legal entity and conducted a management buyout in 2009. Its development since then is very positive, see our Annual Report: https://www.bearingpoint.com/files/BearingPoint_Annual_Report_24.pdf

Pros

Good pay, good location, other employees are good to work with.

Cons

This organization is deeply mismanaged. The four U.S. partners are consistently at odds with one another and unable to collaborate, often dragging employees into their conflicts. The lead U.S. partner regularly makes inappropriate, sexist remarks, despite being a father to daughters, creating a hostile environment. Employees are encouraged to report issues to HR, but concerns are routinely dismissed, and no meaningful action is taken. Speaking up only puts a target on your back, several employees who voiced concerns were included in subsequent rounds of layoffs. The global leadership team is fully aware of the ongoing dysfunction, especially at the partner level, yet chooses to ignore it in favor of their own career advancement. This lack of accountability at every level makes for an incredibly toxic and demoralizing workplace.
