Pros
BearingPoint was a great place when I first started. The main reason I selected BE is because in the unstable, competitive world of government contracting BearingPoint retained their valuable employees to reallocate them to other opportunities. The resource management department was committed to finding new homes for unutilized employees (being on the bench). “Benched” employees would have ample time to get reassigned. Unfortunately, being on the bench these days for more than 2 weeks results in a pink slip. This ,of course, is if one doesn't have friends in higher places.
Cons
BearingPoint seems to be a good old boys club. Promotions and raises are not based on merit, but popularity. Training dollars are scarce. BE does not offer a tuition or student loan repayment benefit. Annual review time is coming up very shortly and can bet that lack of promotion/bonuses will be blamed on the ecomony. This might be easier to swallow if they had not reported record bookings for Public Services this year.
