Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write this review. We’re pleased you have mentioned our great culture and friendly working environment. This is something we are extremely proud of and invest a lot of time and effort in maintaining and therefore we are delighted to hear you appreciated it during your tenure with us. Our collaborative and friendly culture is a global theme and most of our projects and especially some of our business development activities are joint efforts with colleagues from across the firm. All our firm wide training efforts such as BE School, Consultant Bootcamp etc are hosted in our learning campus based in Brussels and allows multiple opportunities for networking with firm wide colleagues. We are sorry to hear this wasn’t your experience, but it is exceptional rather than the norm. Our flat structure is something we get very positive feedback on from our engagement surveys. We feel this structure creates a collaborative environment where every team member’s voice is valued and heard. We also feel it empowers individuals to take on more responsibility at an earlier stage than in larger companies and avoids office politics. We value your feedback and insights as we continuously aim to improve our employee experience.

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.
