Pros

Salary is higher than if I was with a sub-contractor for my same job. They let me work from home when needed.

Cons

After being hired found out that I am a Booz Technical Staff employee, which does not give me all of the benefits of being a full Booz employee. I only get 2 weeks of PTO vs 3, I pay more for health and dental, I am not eligible for tuition reimbursement for school but can get up to $2500 for certificates. Regular employees are given $5000 for schooling. None of this was told to me upfront, instead I have found this out a little bit at a time as it comes up. Finally, we are on a 5 yr contract and as the first option year starts we were told there are 40 hours less on this year, so we have to either take 40 hours of Leave Without Pay, or we can do 20 hours of training and take 20 hours of leave without pay.

Pros

Collegial culture. While employees work hard, it does not feel like a cutthroat competition. Great brand. Booz Allen continues to garner respect as a solid company throughout DC. Work-life balance is pretty manageable overall.

Cons

As federal contracts are Booz Allen's bread and butter, the firm is beholden to whatever are deemed priority needs, often resulting in staff augmentation work. This is particularly frustrating to talented staff members. Compensation at Associate and below levels undervalue talent of employees. Lack of annual bonus structure at lower levels entices driven talent to leave. There's little incentive to take advantage of the firm's tuition reimbursement benefit due to the repayment policy. You must work pretty much two additional years per benefit payment to be free and clear.
