Thanks you for your feedback and positive comments. We are always striving to make improvements across all aspects of our business and we appreciate your feedback. Addressing your point on promotion and career advancement, we have a very transparent Development Management programme focused on helping all our people to reach their potential. The programme includes feedback meetings every 8 weeks with the Development and Engagement Manager and career development is proactively discussed at these meetings. Where an individual isn’t ready for promotion, support and clear guidelines on what needs to be done to be promoted are provided to help the individual to achieve their goals. Regarding salary, it is absolutely in our interests to ensure our salary and benefits are at market as this impacts our ability to hire and retain our people. That’s why we benchmark our salaries annually against consulting best practice so that we know our salaries and benefits are at market. We encourage anyone who feels their salary is out of kilter with their role/responsibilities to speak with their Service Line Lead, DM or HR to review the situation. Thanks again for your feedback.

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.
