Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

Many people are on the bench, we have to look for work internally. Then if there is no project after applying for internal jobs, they we get laid-off very poor business values, lack principle. There is no stability & many people leave.

- Booz Allen is notorious for their cult like culture and worship of the firm. - The business team I worked for in Central Maryland viewed any employee initiated movement requests as a problem. There was no assistance in moving to other teams, businesses, etc and applications elsewhere were viewed similar to defections. - Low pay compared to other companies in the intelligence contracting world. Booz Allen managers routinely acknowledged Booz's lower pay scales, but would counter argue that the firm's benefits were superior to their competitors. This is simply not true. However, considering many, if not most, employees are recently separated military service members/government employees with little outside contracting experience, these claims are largely accepted and defended throughout the firm. I received a $20k dollar pay increase upon switching to another company, and this increase wasn't for a different position either. It was for the exact same position that I had when I left Booz Allen. I still sat at my same desk, working alongside all of my same colleagues. All of my benefits are comparable if not slightly better. - Booz Allen's old ECAP program was a really sweet gig, but that went away when Booz became a publicly traded company.
