Pros

Pay and benefits were good. BearingPoint had an underdog status when competing against bigger names in the IT consulting business, which gave the organization a scrappy culture. The leadership made many good decisions when it came to employees.

Cons

Execution of top leadership decisions by other leaders left much to be desired. Very often, employees were bullied, guilted, or otherwise actively thwarted in efforts to balance work and personal lives. There were some truly stand-out Senior Managers and Partners, but from my interactions, they seemed to be few and far between. In the trenches, the focus seemed to be far to heavy on how much we can bill clients, instead of what benefits and solutions we could provide. Perhaps it's semantics, but what a team is directed to focus on makes a big difference.

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: http://www.bearingpoint.com/en/about-us/annual-report/

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.
