      A good company for REALLY hard workers

      Pros

      There is usually interesting work available, and there are some very bright people on staff. The pay is pretty good compared to other east-coast companies. You are rewarded nicely if you pour your heart and soul and weekends in to your work.

      Cons

      In order to "make it," you are expected to average about 60-70 hours a week. In other places, this might be something that happens every once in awhile, and your bosses notice your extra commitment, but at Booz Allen, this is kind of the minimum level of effort to really get "noticed." This makes it really hard to maintain a good family work-life balance and also climb the ladder.

      Nothing but downhill for the employees since they went public.

      Pros

      Lots of opportunity for experience if you find the right team. Comparable pay.

      Cons

      Easy to lose work-life balance. Benefits decline every year. Company structure always in flux; Leadership changes the direction of the company every 6 months. Benefits and internal structure keep changing under the guise of improvement, but everyone knows it is either a stop-gap solution or designed to be better for the shareholders. The company keeps trying to reduce overhead to be more competitive, but instead they add more overhead to manage the reduction of overhead, and the rates pretty much stay the same. Once upon a time, everyone had offices, now hardly anyone has an office. Rates went down 0.0%.

      Pros

      Great name recognition. The Booz Allen name still caries some weight. It helped me get an interview for my current position at a Fortune 100. Collaborative. Booz Allen is still decent at collaboration, though with the move to "hoteling" this was somewhat degraded. Senior leaders have open door policies and many will accommodate even if you are not on their team. Core values espoused are still in the firm, but not consistent. The dynamic changes from team to team, even within the same home office. Flexible work schedule. Over the two years I spent with Booz Allen, I received the ability to complete my billable hours to accommodate travel and take business days off needed for my graduate degree program. Great ways to give back through Booz Allen Cares.

      Cons

      At the point of Principal and above, there is a huge disconnect with the lower ranking consultants up through Senior Associate. Notifying employees of permanent changes to vacation/holiday schedules between Christmas and New Years via email was appalling. Cutting ECAP, was the final blow to benefits that differentiated Booz. Moreover, billable workers like myself were viewed as a commodity. Client delivery wasn't really valued, just filling a seat and ability to retain a security clearance. All of these cons have changed the culture for the worse.
