Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

Employees are low priority. There is "talk" from management about taking care of employees, but no action. "Nickel and dime" PTO by charging PTO for non-billable time. Directed to use my personal laptop because the company still has not provided a laptop and there are client deliverables. Greatest concern is having to place client data and solutions developed for the client on personal equipment. Client expressed concerns 8 months ago, but company has not addressed those concerns. Followed up with manager twice, who replied he would look into it -- no follow-through by manager. Found recent news articles that company is under investigation for inappropriate cost accounting for DoD accounts and for securities fraud. Cons far outweigh the pros. What appeared to be pros during the recruitment phase turned out to be false or misinformation. Older technology with no inclination to shift, but that is a reflection of the federal agency (client) . Took a salary cut (about $4K) with promise of rich benefits that offset the cut. Benefit summary/costs not provided until first day of employment, and benefits cost more and have lower coverages. End result was drop in net pay of over $700/month with less competitive benefits. Until recently, "Booz-Up" and "Boozer" mentality appears to merge company name with alcohol consumption at after-hours mixers and "business" lunches, which appears to be expensed by the senior manager present; I don't have visibility if those expenses were passed directly or indirectly to clients. This is not a company for those who are not arrogant. Arrogance seems to outweigh quiet confidence. Keep in mind that this is the perspective of one person.

High stress environment, expected to work 12 to 16 hour days
