      Better than unemployment... barely

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ability to be staffed and put in front of senior clients regardless of experience or qualifications Willing to dramatically undersell competitors to get in the door without considering impacts to consultants on the ground or quality of delivery Leadership team with lots of experience--they're the ones that helped crash BearingPoint New Leadership from UK office not afraid to ignore, ice out, fire, or berate lazy Americans

      Cons

      Recruitment hires non-stop regardless of pipeline Poor management alienates qualified people Doesn't value people or clients Mostly a body shop with little investment in training Little respect from clients or prospective employers

      OK if you need work or want to get into consulting space (but can't break into the big 4)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent wages, willingness to sponsor some employees for visas (not applicable to me), hours are reasonable for consulting.

      Cons

      Management treats employees like chips in a game of poker, bringing in more when work is plentiful and cutting them when business is slower. The fact that they are heavily weighted to small handful of clients contributes to this fact. There is NO clear training or growth prospects since the infrastructure is lacking as are formal processes. Most client engagements are staff-augmentation roles so that you become of temp employee of the client - not a consultant. Due to the high turnover and erratic client engagements, you WILL work on projects that are outside of your areas of specialty leading to low quality output and client dissatisfaction. Finally, unprofessional employees permeate this organization and there is no means of voicing needs regarding change.

      If your willing to deal with the downside...

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smaller firm, so less admin type of work compared to big 4. Will initially overpay to attract employees.

      Cons

      No real projects, more of a body shop. Heavily invested in GSEs, tech pmo work. Difficult selling to clients, therefore limited work. Partners have limited contacts. If you are not close to a partner you will receive very little comp. Lots of Bearingpoint people, the same place that went bankrupt. Old capco had a strong reputation. Lots of layoffs in 2011 due to reliance on one client. Promoted lots of people to roles they are not fit for.
