Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

Everything. FIGHT FOR REMOTE WORK! No one should be forced to work in office when the work can easily and productively be done from home. And, yes, we were more productive that way.

Developed bad engineering habits due to lack of seniority and experience in my teams. Good engineers move up the chain fast, leaving junior-mid engineers in senior positions. Had some teammates with 2 and 4 yoe in engineering not know basic developer skills. I saw highly under qualified individuals in positions they had no business being in. For every 1 person who is actually qualified to do the job at Booz, there is another person that is piggy backing off of the hard work of everyone else. Switched to a smaller gov contracting company and have loved it so far compared to Booz. People kept telling me that maybe I’ll be a comeback kid. The only way that happens is if every other company in the world goes bankrupt. Left Booz on my own accord despite still being billable because I was sick of the culture. Networking looked so forced whenever I would go to company events. You’re friends with people until it’s time to find a new project, then everyone is either your competition or just a resource for landing the next project. I didn’t even write code for my last 6 months, which was the actual nail in the coffin for me.
