Wow. Not worth it.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn new things. Lots of resources available, if you could justify them. Working with some very smart, very motivated people.

Cons

One of my customers referred to BAH as "the virus". Big promises, no follow-through. Hard to tell who's really looking out for you and who's trying to stab you in the back. (Based on conversations, though, this is unique to the office I was in).

Pros

When you say you work at Booz, people think you work at Booz and Co, the strategy consulting firm, which was spun out of Booz Allen Hamilton in 2008. I often sigh (in my head) as I have to sadly tell them it is not Booz & Co, but rather Booz Allen Hamilton. Dunno if this actually a pro or a con, but it is the truth.

Cons

Not enough space here to give advice, but have you ever seen that movie called "Titanic"? Well then, you know how it ends.

Pros

- Compensation were higher than normal - Reputation of firm enhances resume - Worked with innovative young, professionals with great aspirations - ECAP (10% of Salary put into 401K every February)

Cons

- The management is only looking out for themselves (so many levels I only know who my Senior Associate) - Assessment process has become too laborious and isn't consistent anymore - More concerned about utilization and average work week than work life balance. - Expectation to work 42 hours a week + proposal + training - Training is no longer a benefit (since all training hours must be made up by end of fiscal year) - Does more staff augmentation not true consulting
