Pros

Multitude of different client projects to be placed on. Private and public sector, wide range of tech stacks new and old. Good office relations between people, and many extra events and smaller benefits.

Cons

Slow and limited in growth potential. Ability to upskill varies depending on what project you are placed on and how busy it is, often you are too busy to commit to training or extra activities or you are working in a client's office or with seperate systems that remove you from the office environment. Reliance on subpar overseas 3rd party contractors to bulk out workforce for some teams. Expected to take part in "extra curricular" non financial efforts in order to be considered for promotion. Promotions are only considered once per year except for in special cases. Treated like a business consultant rather than a software developer. Salaries are not as competitive as other places.

Thank you for the feedback - it is appreciated. It’s great to hear that you've had exposure to a variety of client projects across sectors and tech stacks, and that you've found the office culture and social events to be a positive part of your experience with us. Regarding your other comments, promotion opportunities for this level take place twice per year. There are guidelines in place for promotion to be considered, and competency development is the key requirement for promotion. Non-financial activities are not a requirement to be promoted, but are viewed as valuable elements of each individual’s overall growth and engagement. Training and upskilling; training is available to all staff with a minimum annual requirement in place. It is each individual’s responsibility to ensure they proactively carve out time during the year to ensure they complete training and development goals in addition to project work. On WFH, we have a very generous hybrid working policy in place. On salaries, 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 good people. That’s why we benchmark our salaries annually against consulting and industry best practices 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 the People team to review the situation. On role alignment, it is important to acknowledge that you were hired as a Technology Consultant and your role is designed to reflect that, including access to relevant training, opportunities for technical and personal growth, and recognition of your technical contributions. Thanks again for taking the time to share 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.
