Toxic culture, ineffective management, retention challenges and dull projects - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei BearingPoint: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to see you didn’t have a good experience working with us. As part of the GROW region, BearingPoint UK is focused on growing the practice and building the brand in the UK. We have a strong commitment to our clients and to our people, and as a company we look to not only build the brand but to leave a lasting impact – for our clients, our people, and the planet. Our size means that naturally we won’t have the same level of awareness as some of the bigger consulting firms, but what we pride ourselves on is being known in target areas for our expertise, and having excellent – and long lasting – client relationships. Regarding our culture, it is difficult to understand your perspective. We conduct regular and consistent surveys with our people, and over the last number of years we have seen the satisfaction score and feedback in our staff surveys improve year on year. In particular, the feedback from exit interviews is very positive and specifically in relation to our culture. From a recruitment perspective, we have grown the business significantly over the last 3 years and we have ambitious growth plans for the years ahead. Our retention is above industry standards, with the lowest staff turnover rate seen last year than at any time previously. Addressing your point on promotion and career advancement, we have a very transparent Development Management programme focused on helping all our people to reach their potential. The programme includes feedback meetings every 8 weeks with the Development and Engagement Manager and career development is proactively discussed at these meetings. Where an individual isn’t ready for promotion, support and clear guidelines on what needs to be done to be promoted are provided to help the individual to achieve their goals. We have an open door/open call policy and we very much encourage staff to raise any concerns either with a member of the leadership team or HR and such matters are always addressed as a priority. Any issues raised are not left unresolved. We are sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your time with the company and it is not reflective of the feedback we receive from our people.
