Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

Poor management, poor performance management, lack of accountability

The expectation is that you work non stop and you don’t get those hours back. Booz Allen is a big company and things can vary depending on which group you fall in, including things that are supposed to be mandated firm wide. Management changed during my time and it went downhill really quickly. People who didn’t know how to manage teams were put in charge and new people being hired didn’t have the skills to successfully do their jobs nor was there time for them to actually learn the skills to do their jobs. There was no support in my group for growing leaders UNLESS you were a friend of the boss. There is a lot of favoritism going on and lack of investment in the employees that work their butts off. They will run you to the ground and they will not speak up to the clients on your behalf. I felt betrayed by the firm and I really loved it when I joined. I thought, this is it, this will be the last place I work until management changed and no one cared. I was getting paid less than many other people on the team doing a lot less work. You would think they would have invested in me a little more considering I’m the reason they had a lot of the work but I wasn’t close to the senior associate like others so no favoritism for me. Maybe it’s because I stood up for myself and the team. Onto bigger and better things I guess.
