Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

Once upon a time having a position was a career booster. Not anymore. DoD is shrinking, and Booz allen rates they charge to the DoD is too much. Competitors have come in to undercut Booz Allen (BAH). BAH has 6% 401k match, salary will stay stagnant. It's the big boys club. My biggest concern was the gap between bah leadership and bah employees. Also lying to you and telling you what you want to hear, but when it came to promotions and your review the msg was not consistent. The leadership is lacking. When it came time for proposals, they don't pay you for the 40+ hours you put in in addition to your regular 42+ hr work week. I had sacrificed numerous evenings and weekends but had no reflection in pay during review time which are now twice a year. Even if your clients wants to pay you more, BAH limits this action. BAH has their own pricing and policy. They don't want you getting paid more too quickly.

BAD company to work for. It is all about money that you bring in to the leaders. There is no work life balance. They have budget cuts to furlough employees and to use that money for spent on happy hour, wine and dining, meetings in hotels, etc. You will be an alcoholic to mix in to the booz allen culture. It is all about money, winning contracts. They have a once a year family day at Kings Dominion and they will have it during the time when most employees and their families are out. If your a spouse/others the female executives will do their power to get rid of you to have their good time privately with your spouse - monkey business. Executives female spent going to sites to have lunch and you wonder when do they get their work done. There are more socializing than actual working. This is how the lonely executive women/men usually meet to what they call networking to look for a husband/ fling. If you are not in the drinking mix you will be eliminated. Stay out of this company.
