Pros

It's one of the Big-4, therefore you can get a strong project portfolio, learn the internal culture of the Fortune-500 companies and overall industry landscape very quickly. Such experience does open many doors.

Cons

The company just keeps going downhill, and good people have left or are about to leave. BE will be in red at least another year, and likely longer. The utilization metrics drive the overall employment status and process; even if you get on decent project, there is no brand support to your work. Resource realization is poor; senior roles run at 1/3 of the listed hourly rate, and the projects more and more are staff augmentation, with undefined scope and no added value. The remaining leadership is biased and subjective; overall morale is low.

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.
