Thank you for your comments and feedback, we are excited to have you on board and glad that you recommend us as a place to work. We don’t take this for granted and we are keen to work with on any areas identified for improvement. High on our list of priorities is the gender diversity of our M&A team in the UK. We are a newly established and fast-growing team, and we recognise that we have some work to do to better mirror the gender diversity of the wider M&A practice in BearingPoint where we have greater female representation across all levels. This is something we are working on, for instance with the imminent launch of a targeted recruitment campaign, and by planning more active participation in recruitment events, forums and conferences connected to female leadership in the TMT sector, Private Equity and/or Corporate M&A. We sincerely hope you will take us up on our offer to contribute ideas and effort to build a more diverse M&A team and we encourage you to speak with your development manager or practice lead in this regard. Regarding your comment on salary, we benchmark our salaries annually using external benchmarks and we can confirm our salaries and benefits are very much at market, notwithstanding current external factors including high inflation and rising costs. Thank you again for your feedback, it is appreciated.

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.
