Pros

- Consulting projects with many of the Fortune 500 companies - Fellow "on the ground" consultant were a great group of people (intelligent, hardworking, fun to travel with) - You will learn a lot

Cons

- Senior SENIOR management has no idea what they're doing with the firm. More often than not, it seems as though our strategic plan is to "copy Accenture" yet we have yet to decipher what they're good at and how that could possibly translate to benefits for our organization - The promotion and bonus process is clandestine and down-right silly. You'll be told you're doing an excellent job by management, they'll tell you that you have earned an EE (Exceeds Expectations) or SE (Super Exceeds Expectations) but you will be rated as ME (Meets Expectations) because all EE's and SE's have to receive a certain bonus...which they really can't afford to give out.

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.
