Pluspunten

The right people (management's choice) can get project leadership experience right out of school. A great opportunity for some. If you have family and friends you want to stay close to in Mississippi, this is a possibility. A few employees have a significant other attending the local university. Management is understanding of family life. Parents are very happy with the flexibility offered and are able to pick kids up from school and even bring them in on vacation days.

Minpunten

Unreliable employment: Spring 2008 graduates hired in June were all laid off in September. If you have an H1 visa, it is terminated the day after lay off. The consultants are a level of abstraction between the software you're writing and the end user that can be a frustrating logjam for communication. It can be quite difficult to attain an understanding of the software, leading to incorrect implementations. Lots of pressure to charge to your project (even if not assigned work on your project) If you are not one of the "right people", you will not get much experience or opportunity for advancement. Some of the most talented, productive individuals were not adequately compensated. Very few experienced developers, and they are overworked. Most only have a year or two under their belt and do not have tried and tested methods of development. This means no mentors. They do not have the funds to compensate employees.

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

Pluspunten

Good pay, good location, other employees are good to work with.

Minpunten

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.
