Good afternoon,
Thank you for your feedback.
With regards to your comment on work permits, we're disappointed to hear that this was how you felt about your experience with us. Diversity and inclusion are central to our strategy and as a result a key business priority. We're very proud that we currently employ people from 22 different countries and work hard to provide the right support for each one when they join us. As such we put all necessary structures and processes in place to support international hiring activities including having a colleague dedicated to processing work permits resulting in us having Trusted Partner status with DBEI and we respect and uphold its rules in full.
With regards to support from management/your manager, it is essential each employee asks for whatever additional support or guidance they feel they need. None of our managers will leave an individual without support but each individual is responsible for their own career development and must proactively seek the support they need.
Regarding salary and working hours, we benchmark our salaries annually against consulting and industry best practice so that we know our salaries and benefits are in line with the market. We have a very flexible hybrid working policy which we receive positive feedback from staff on. Some additional hours may be required from time to time at key milestone stages on projects, but this is not regular practice and work/life balance is an area that features positively in our staff survey.
Again, thanks for your feedback. It is a shame you did not raise your concerns when you worked with the company, and we hope this response provides clarification for you.

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
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.
