Pros

BE could be a good starting point for someone just out of b-school to get a broad range of experience. But for mid-tier professionals, I would not recommend this firm, especially if you are joining from outside and did not "grow up" here. A recent "brain drain" has commenced, so absent some kind of miracle, BE as we know it will no longer exist some time in Q1 of 09.

Cons

As a result of financial mismanagement, and a top heavy organization, BE was de-listed from the NYSE. Bankruptcy is real possibility for 2009. Benefits poor and getting worse, no match on 401-K. No real connection to other professionals you do not work directly with on client projects.

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.
