Pros

The schedule is very flexible. Opportunity to work in different fields and industries. They pay the market rate. They also have a good solid benefits package. There are also opportunities to travel. Since there are offices world-wide, it is also possible to relocate to another office. There is also the opportunity to meet and work with many different types of people.

Cons

Not profitable. Heavily focused on public sector. Since the work is usually in Washignton, DC, the commute is very often a pain the the rear end. Sometimes the team can be located in various parts of the country. This can lead to communication problems as well as lower moral.

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.
