Pros
BearingPoint is a great place to gain exposure to the consulting industry. Specifically the Public Services sector is a great place for a new or experienced consultant to make a direct impact by working with a government client (federal, state or local) to help them solve one of their many issues. Most of the issues we help to resolve with our clients are usually related to technology, management, finance, accounting, or operations. As a BE consultant, you will also have a chance to leverage the knowledge of thousands of other consultants within your sector. I would also like to say that salaries and benefits are pretty competitive for the industry.
Cons
Currently the company is going through financial tough times because of accounting problems that took place a few years ago. Because of these problems, most of the shareholder equity has been wiped out. Though this really does not effect most of the consultants on a direct basis (unless you own BE stock), it does lower the morale a little. Also, any pending action taken to resolve these equity, finance, and accounting issues may have a potential negative effect on the company and its people. Despite these issues, I would say that BE is a great place to work. We just have to wait out the storm for a little while.
