Interesting work, good opportunities, but significant incompetence and more than a little risky - Senior Manager BearingPoint Employee Review

Pros

Interesting projects and the ability to make a difference for the client. It is also a place where there is ample opportunity to advance in the organization if you are smart and work hard (and by the evidence, even if you're not that smart).

Cons

You will work long hours and weekends to move up in the organization. The higher you go, the harder you will work. The internal processes are extremely poorly designed and the support organizations (IT and Finance, specifically) are full of complete clowns. The company is in the midst of financial turmoil, I would wait until things clarify before joining.

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.
