Pros

As one of the big 4(maybe 5, or.... 6? whatever) consulting firms, it has great reputation and is a good place to start your career. The campus talk was excellent which absorbed me a lot to consider Bearing Point as the first step in my career path. It has good connection with the local government and state-owned companies, and got a lot of projects from them with high benefit. If you can show your benefit to Bearing Point, then your promotion will be fairly fast. Also, the connection between Bearing Point and Yale Management School is quite tight which means you will have the opportunity to learn in the top B-school, although only 1 week~

Cons

The salary is really NOT competitive comparing with other competitors such as IBM~ Maybe 20% lower comparing with IBM, but better than that of Accenture. Oh Accenture, what a shame on you~ It had the best Oracle ERP team in China - I mean: It had...... Now a lot of experienced ERP consultants in Bearing Point have gone to its competitors, and it becomes to lose its high quality customers. To be worth, it was deleted from the list on the big board, and each customer asks for a description. Personally, I do not know where this ship will sail to.

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.
