Pros
BearingPoint is a very entrepreneurial place to work. If you are someone who thrives in an autonomous environment and hates to be micromanaged, then you will enjoy working at BearingPoint. As a project lead, I have been empowered by my project manager to lead my track as I see fit as long as it accomplishes the goals of the project. Traveling is big plus with BearingPoint since they still pay out the US CONUS PerDiem rates, so if you are cheap (like me) and can eat on $20/day, you can easily pull in an extra $400-500/month in discretionary income from traveling.
Cons
If you are someone that requires a lot of structure, it will drive you nuts. Most managers I have worked with are not very hands-on and rely more on your initiative than on their own management. I highly encourage you to use this as an opportunity to expand your skillset and take initiative. You will have more opportunities to meet with clients, the downside is that you may not feel as comfortable since often times you are thrown into situations you have not necessarily been prepared for ahead of time. My advice is to stay away from negativity, there is a lot of it and if you work at BearingPoint you don't need anymore of it.
