Pros

Benefits, Flexible Work Arrangements, Various Locations of Employment, Fortune 500 Company

Cons

Worked for the company 16 years and one day got a call saying there was lack of work, due to budget constraints. What a way to treat someone that dedicated their career to your cause. Since 2010, my team had layoff losing really good staff. Company morale is really low. Everyone was and is worried if they are on the layoff list next. Since Booz Allen went public it is not a good place to work for. Culture, Values and Ethics are out the window.

Pros

Work schedule flexibility if you are not on client site; work / life balance (if you chose to do so)

Cons

Innovation is stymied at every step; it's a very political organization and if you're not on the inside you are so far outside that you'll never get promoted regardless of merit starting with moving up from the lead associate position; folks running the innovation group are almost all people who have been with the company 20+ years and mostly had no other job experience in their lives

Pros

- Pay is pretty good - Decent benefits, although healthcare has taken a hit in recent years - Coworkers and Management are competent - Their Digital Portal makes getting things done remotely very easy - Reputable Company, recognized for good work around town (Dc)

Cons

- Being on Client Site is the Kiss of Death for your career - Management won't help you build new skills or take on educational opportunities to stay employed and build new business - Its impossible to find new positions and track down your career manager to help build your career - If there are positions which you are well qualified for, BAH won't lift a finger if they require higher clearances then you currently have - BAH has shifted its health care cost burden to employees whom are now asked to shoulder larger share of health care costs bringing down their overall pay - BAH is a large firm thus getting anything done, finding the right people, networking, and building a career is very difficult - Its difficult to change from the SIG to DIG or Commercial sections. - Your success here totally depends on where you get hired and what project you are working on. Its a total crap shoot, and trying to change your path/career is impossible -
