Pros

The position offers many benefits and leniencies: Low pressure, no strict supervision, foodstamps, gym, ping pong table, no website blocking, no screen recording, summer passes to nearby lake, etc...

Cons

Some projects could be huge, complex and frustrating. Relatively low compensation.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience working at BearingPoint. We strive to create an open culture at BearingPoint and value feedback so that we can become an even better company. Regarding your feedback on relatively low compensation, it is always a goal within the executive leadership to communicate clear and transparent back down to our teams. It is not always perfect, but we try hard at it. We are working on how to better inform our employees on their career paths and what it takes to get promoted.

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.
