Pros

I had a great experience working for BearingPoint- highly educated colleagues and a very professional way of working. I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience both from a professional and a personal perspective. Also to mention are a great onboarding and good regular training opportunities as well as a special focus on women.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company in France is still very centred on graduates from Grandes Eccles, and anyone who has not studied in France will have a hard time to get hired. Also, internal politics can be hard to navigate at times, and it takes time to really get accepted and make one´s mark as a foreigner. BearingPoint France still has a typically French company culture, despite an effort to act as an international company. More diversity would be great.

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.
